Kenny out for 200 wins
Kenny Dalglish is hoping for his 200th win as Liverpool manager in all competitions when the Reds face Exeter City in the Carling Cup second round tie at Exeter City on Wednesday night.
Here are all the facts and figures ahead of the game from club statto Ged Rea.
Liverpool's League Cup record: Pld 205 Won 121 Drawn 42 Lost 42.
Currently 60 league places separate Liverpool and League One Exeter.
The teams have only ever met in cup competition. They have been drawn together twice in the League Cup.
The first occasion saw David Fairclough score twice at Anfield in a 2-0 Reds win October 1979.
The last meeting produced a 11-0 aggregate victory for the Reds with Liverpool winning 6-0 in the Second Leg at St James' Park. Dalglish was on the mark in both legs of the Second Round tie in October 1981 with Liverpool going on to win the trophy for the second time.
Liverpool also defeated Exeter in the FA Cup in 1950.
In those four meetings Liverpool have scored 16 goals and conceded just one.
This will be Kenny's first League Cup game as Reds boss since October 1990 when he oversaw a defeat at Manchester United.
Liverpool have won this trophy on a record seven occasions, the last being in 2003.
They have also appeared in the most Finals - 10.
Last season Liverpool lost at home to Northampton (4-2 on penalties) after a 2-2 draw. Milan Jovanovic and David Ngog scored for the Reds but Ngog missed in the shoot-out and though Jonjo Shelvey and Daniel Agger scored Nathan Eccleston missed his.

They have won just one of their last four games in the League Cup - at Leeds (1-0 Ngog) in September 2009.
