Liverpool and Arsenal sent a strong message in the Carabao Cup — their squads run deep.

‎

‎Liverpool 3-1 Tottenham

‎Despite making 10 changes, Liverpool comfortably saw off Spurs at Anfield, with Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai on the scoresheet.

‎

‎Ipswich 2-4 Arsenal

‎Arsenal also rotated heavily, but their youngsters stepped up. 16-year-old Max Dowman stole the show with a brace, while Noni Madueke and Mikel Merino also found the net.

‎

‎Both victories highlighted the quality, depth and emerging talent available beyond the usual starting XI.

‎

‎The big question: Which squad looks better equipped to compete on multiple fronts this season?
