Substitute Daniel Sturridge scored twice, while Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino were also on the scoresheet as Liverpool battered Burton Albion 5-0 to reach the League Cup third round on Tuesday.
Jurgen Klopp's side, finalists in the competition last season, slumped to a disappointing 2-0 Premier League loss at Burnley on Saturday but an upset was never on the cards at the Pirelli Stadium.
Origi put Liverpool ahead after just 14 minutes, tapping in from close range after Sadio Mane's trickery created a simple finish for the striker.
Sturridge, on as a 64th-minute substitute for Firmino, compounded the hosts' misery with two goals in the space of five minutes in the closing stages - his first strikes of the season - with injuries to Emre Can and Origi the only sour notes for the visitors.
Bywater was soon in action again as the visitors opened Burton up but Firmino's header was pushed around the post.
James Milner's overhit cross was recovered by Mane, who jinked past Damien McCrory and squared the ball for Origi to flick home from close range.
Adam Lallana should have doubled the lead from six yards after breaking the offside trap, but he somehow headed Jordan Henderson's cross wide.
But Liverpool were gifted a second when Bywater's poor throw went straight to Mane and he screwed the ball into the path of Clyne, who in turn produced an excellent cross on the run that Firmino nodded home.
Burton enjoyed a good spell of possession after half-time but Nigel Clough's men struggled for penetration and Liverpool's third goal arrived on the hour-mark when Milner's whipped corner flicked off Can and bounced in off Naylor to extend the lead.
Sturridge added a fourth goal with 13 minutes to play, the substitute tapping in at the far post from Milner's low cross after a one-two with Mane.
Liverpool's comfortable win was marred by both Can and Origi picking up injuries, however, with the closing minutes seen out with 10 men.
