Pep Lijnders sat in for Jurgen Klopp in yesterday's pre-match press conference speaking of how the squad is ready to 'attack' all competitions they are competing in this season.
Last term, Liverpool's domestic cup campaigns fell at the first hurdle - but while the Carabao Cup may not head up the club's priority list, the Champions League win last June will have given this group of players a real thirst for more silverware.
According to Liverpool's assistant, tonight's side will be a mix of youth and experience.
Elliott, Brewster and keeper Caoimhin Kelleher were three prospects Lijnders personally name-checked yesterday, while other players like Ki-Jana Hoever and Adam Lewis are also likely to be in the travelling squad.
Elsewhere, midfielder Naby Keita will return to action following an unfortunate run of injuries. Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez are also likely to partner up at the heart of Liverpool's defence.
For opponents MK Dons, the thumping 2014 win over Manchester United still lives long in the memory. They head into tonight's game 15th in League One.
