The Carabao Cup marks the return of English football with the round of 16 taking place this week. Manchester City will face holders Liverpool on Thursday in what will be the biggest tie of the round. Both teams had majority of their internationals return early from the world cup due to round of 16 and quarterfinal exits thus, strong squads are expected.<\/p>\n
