 As usual, Liverpool will conduct a press conference at 1.30pm on Tuesday ahead of their upcoming fixture. However, it won't be Reds boss Klopp in the chair at the club's AXA Training Centre to face the media on Tuesday afternoon. While Klopp usually fulfils media duties himself, he has often deferred to his assistant manager, Pep Lijnders, for press conferences around Carabao Cup games recently. For example, although Klopp did the press conference before the semi-final against Arsenal, Lijnders spoke to the press before their final against Chelsea at Wembley in February. The decision to send Lijnders before the Derby match is unrelated to the news from the club's owners. You can watch the press conference here. Why does Klopp send Lijnders?

Liverpool are preparing themselves to face League One side Derby County in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, but Jurgen Klopp will not be previewing the game
Liverpool are going through a busy period both on and off the pitch, with the 2-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday followed by bombshell news from the boardroom on Monday.
The Reds’ first away win of the season in the Premier League, courtesy of Mohamed Salah’s two goals, was followed swiftly by an announcement from Fenway Sports Group that they are looking for investment from third parties in the club.
It is amid this backdrop that Jurgen Klopp’s side are preparing to take on League One side Derby County at Anfield on Wednesday evening.
Here Mirror Football explains what is going on around the fixture.
