Liverpool came from behind to win a game of football under Andoni Iraola once again on Wednesday as they snuck through to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Chelsea were the Reds’ victims this time, and having sent out a very understrength starting XI, Iraola will be delighted to have made it five wins in a row.The performance itself was not always clean, and not always full of quality, but according to Liverpool legend Steve Nicol, the Reds looked more full of energy against the Blues than they have at any other stage under Iraola so far.

Who are your favourites to win it now? 👀 Nicol urges Liverpool to keep their energy up Liverpool have been making steady progress with Iraola in charge, and though fans are still yet to consistently see the Spaniard’s high-intensity, pressing football continuously throughout matches, it feels like every match is another step in the right direction. Nicol certainly thinks that was true of Wednesday’s win, hailing Liverpool’s energy and chemistry while analysing the match for ESPN.

“Even tonight with the reserve team, Liverpool actually made some chances and there was some good movement from the middle of the park to the front men. “If they can carry that on at the weekend, because they’re going to have to have it against Arsenal, then it’ll give Arsenal something to think about.” With the Gunners coming to Anfield on the back of a shock penalty shootout defeat against Fleetwood Town, Liverpool fans will be hoping their team can keep the good times rolling and feed off the energy from an enthusiastic home crowd.
