Having dropped points in the English Premier League at the weekend, Liverpool will look to make amends on Wednesday in the English Football League Cup as they travel to managerless Southampton in this quarterfinal clash at St. Mary’s.
The Reds were held to a draw by Fulham on Saturday, allowing title rivals Chelsea to eat into their lead at the top of the EPL. They now turn their attention to a tournament that was the last that former manager Jürgen Klopp won while in charge of the club. They’re favorites to win again this season.
The Saints, meanwhile, are sitting at the foot of the EPL table, with the club’s under-21s manager Simon Rusk set to take charge for this game following the sacking of Russell Martin. A miserable 5-0 loss to Spurs at the weekend ended Martin’s tenure.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.
This Carabao Cup quarterfinal tie between Southampton and Liverpool takes place at St. Mary’s Stadium on Wednesday, Dec. 18. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. GMT local time in the UK, 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US, and 7 a.m. AEDT on Thursday, Dec. 19, in Australia.
Diogo Jota scored a dramatic late equaliser to earn Liverpool a 2-2 draw against Fulham in the Premier League at the weekend.

How to watch the Southampton vs. Liverpool EFL Cup match online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch this match — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
