Liverpool arrive at Melwood ahead of Chelsea Carabao Cup clash with Jurgen Klopp set to ring changes

Liverpool's stars have arrived at Melwood ahead of their Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea on Wednesday evening.
The Premier League frontrunners go head to head at Anfield in the first of two encounters in four days as they look to secure early bragging rights.
And as part of Liverpool's usual pre-match routine, first-team regulars Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino were among those to drive into the club's Melwood training base on Wednesday morning in preparation for the match.

LIVERPOOL'S NEXT FIVE FIXTURES

Chelsea (h), Carabao Cup, September 26
Chelsea (a), Premier League, September 29
Napoli (a), Champions League, October 3
Manchester City (h), Premier League, October 7
Huddersfield (a), Premier League, October 20
As with every home fixture, the Reds park up at their Melwood training base before getting a coach to their hotel. They then take the bus to Anfield.
With a busy schedule on the horizon, manager Jurgen Klopp is set to make a number of changes for Wednesday's cup tie, with Brazil midfielder Fabinho, Xherdan Shaqiri, Daniel Sturridge and Dominic Solanke all set to feature.
Many have found it difficult not getting regular minutes in the Premier League so far and speaking on Tuesday, Klopp admitted he understood their frustrations.
'Playing a game at 50 per cent would be a waste of time - it would not make much sense,' said Klopp.
'I don't put pressure on each player. I really see this opportunity. The boys have to prove themselves constantly. I want to see a really good football game and I want us to win.
'That's how we will try to make the line-up. The pressure is already there. If you don't perform, it's difficult to improve your situation. But the situation of nobody in this team at the moment is bad. What you have to be is always 100 per cent: concentration, focus, everything.
'You don't think where it leads to. If I see one player with the feeling "oh, it's only the League Cup" then we (him and the player) could have a real problem. But there will be no player like this. It is a big football game at a sold out Anfield Road. We will be there, with all we have.'

Tekashi 6ix9ine Drives The Flashiest Ferrari You've Ever Seen

Tekashi's car seriously matches his hair. When you think of 6ix9ine, you probably picture his obnoxiously-colored rainbow hair and teeth in your mind. The man has built a brand off of a combination of his unique image, his stylistic blend of different musical genres, and his Instagram trolling. Currently on a trip to Dubai, Tekashi has been keeping his fans updated with his latest stunting news. Yesterday, the artist revealed that he had spent $50K after spending just 10 minutes inside the Gucci store. Some would say that he's being financially irresponsible but considering all of the success he's experienced this year, his paychecks are probably looking larger than life. Who knows how long he'll be in Dubai but 6ix9ine is actually driving around in a custom rainbow Ferrari while he's overseas. In a place where nearly everybody drives an expensive whip, it can be hard to outdo the residents of Dubai. Unless your name is Tekashi 6ix9ine , that is. While riding t...
