The win booked a place in the competition’s last 16 for the Reds who now face Leeds in a 7.45pm kick-off under the Anfield lights.

Key Events
- 7.45pm kick-off at Anfield
- Leeds winless in eight games, six ending in defeat
Good evening from Anfield
We’ll have to wait and see who makes it and who doesn’t out of the injury doubts but Rodrigo posted an Instagram story promoting this evening’s game which is usually a good sign so fingers crossed. Brighton hammering Chelsea is today’s big Premier League surprise so far, we could do with another one here.
Down a place
Leeds are now second bottom after a 1-1 draw for Wolves at Brentford. The Whites are above Forest on goal difference but with a game in hand and Leeds have two games in hand on Wolves who are now point ahead of them. More importantly, the Whites are two points adrift of safety but have two games in hand fourth-bottom Leicester City after their 1-0 loss at home to Manchester City today. There is then another point to Southampton and Villa who have also played two games more. Put simply, points are needed fast.
