Southampton vs. Liverpool Live Stream: How to watch Carabao Cup football from anywhere

After dropping points in the English Premier League at the weekend, Liverpool will look to make amends on Wednesday in the English Football League Cup when they travel to managerless Southampton in this quarter-final clash at St. Mary’s.

The Reds were held to a draw by Fulham on Saturday, allowing title rivals Chelsea to extend their lead at the top of the EPL. They now turn their attention to a tournament which was the last that former manager Jürgen Klopp won while in charge of the club. They are favorites to win again this season.

Saints, meanwhile, sit at the foot of the EPL table, with the club’s under-21 manager Simon Rusk set to take charge of this game following the sacking of Russell Martin. A miserable 5-0 loss to Spurs at the weekend ended Martin’s tenure.

How to watch Southampton vs Liverpool EFL Cup match online anywhere using a VPN

If you are unable to watch the game locally, you may need another way to watch this match – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you will add an extra layer of privacy to your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

It’s legal to use a VPN to watch or stream sports in all countries where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. Make sure your VPN is set up properly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing properly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the Carabao Cup using a VPN

• With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success when streaming this cup match may vary.
• If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using “search by city or country”.
• If you’re having trouble getting the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and ensure that the address registered to the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address registered to your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network will now appear in the correct display location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main page to quickly install the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you will be asked to confirm a numeric code or click on a link sent to your email address registered with your smart- television. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help as both devices appear to be in the right location.
• And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We usually recommend Brave.
