Xabi Alonso makes his third straight visit to Anfield this Wednesday evening, bringing his Chelsea side to his former home ground for a Carabao Cup fourth-round clash.
Alonso, once a beloved midfielder on Merseyside, was warmly received during his previous two appearances at the ground while managing Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid. His move to Liverpool's traditional rivals hasn't dramatically changed how fans view him, though he can expect a noticeably cooler reception on this occasion.
He'll be hoping to guide Chelsea to Anfield with more on the line than just a Carabao Cup quarterfinal berth, but a significant opportunity has opened up for both clubs following Fleetwood Town's stunning result on Tuesday night.
No incoming manager would pass up the chance for early trophy success, particularly when steering prestigious clubs whose supporters expect silverware year in, year out.
Having narrowly edged past former assistant Iñigo Pérez in the Champions League last week, Andoni Iraola now faces another old acquaintance in Alonso on Wednesday.
Here's everything fans need to know about how to watch the Carabao Cup fourth-round fixture.
