Divock Origi continued his fine EFL Cup form and Ben Woodburn announced himself to the Anfield faithful by becoming the club's youngest scorer as Liverpool booked a semi-final spot with a 2-0 win over Leeds United.
Garry Monk's in-form Championship side had the best chance of a largely forgettable first half through Hadi Sacko and both teams were denied by the post after the interval. Leeds midfielder Kemar Roofe and Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum came closest to breaking the deadlock before Origi struck.
The Belgium international prodded home a superb cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold at the near post with 14 minutes to play and another of Jurgen Klopp's teenage rookies, Woodburn, made
Liverpool history at 17 years and 45 days to make sure of a return to the final four for last season's beaten finalists.
