Liverpool are hoping to win the Carabao Cup, even if they do make changes to their team for the early rounds.
The Reds will take the approach of many top Premier League sides by involving young and fringe players into the starting lineups for the competition.
But assistant boss Pepijn Lijnders insists they are serious about winning the games and progressing deep into the Carabao Cup.
He told the club's website about their ambitions: "We want to compete in each competition, we want to attack each competition. We worked so hard to be in this situation where we can compete in each one.
"For me, cup competitions are the soul of football because it represents a chance for smaller clubs to play against Premier League clubs and can give historic games for fans. That's what we're up against tomorrow.
"The cup competitions are something special; when two local teams play against each other, that environment you get with the cup competitions.
"We want to attack this cup, we want to attack tomorrow's game, we will put a team in place that, for me, is a Premier League team. The players feel this responsibility as well: a highly-motivated team plays against us and the players feel this responsibility, so they really look forward to it, I really look forward to it.
"It's another opportunity to put our identity in place and show our passion.
"We prepare for the game in the same way we prepared for Chelsea, with the same access, probably even more detail, but with the same hunger to win it."
