Liverpool will attempt to get their season back on the rails after a dismal run of four straight Premier League defeats as they take on new nemeses Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Oliver Glasner’s Palace are themselves on a four-game winless run but played creditably in a 1-0 league loss to Arsenal on Sunday, and will smell blood against the struggling Reds.
Liverpool will take heart from having only lost once on home turf this season - but it was their most recent home game to fierce rivals Manchester United.
Meanwhile Palace are actually unbeaten at Anfield since September 2021, and can register three straight wins against Arne Slot’s side after August’s Community Shield triumph and a 2-1 league win at Selhurst Park last month.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is a doubt for the game after he was withdrawn in the second half of their weekend loss to Brentford with an unspecified problem, while Alisson Becker and Jeremie Frimpong remain out with hamstring issues. Giorgi Mamardashvili could be rested, with Arne Slot set to award an unlikely appearance to third-choice stopper Freddie Woodman. Alexander Isak is nursing a groin injury and Ryan Gravenberch’s ankle problem may rule him out too.
Palace have a comparably full-strength team, with only Caleb Kporha, Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure expected to miss out.
Confirmed line-ups
Liverpool XI: Woodman; Ramsay, Gomez, Robertson, Kerkez; Nyoni, Endo; Morrison, Mac Allister, Ngumoha; Chiesa
Crystal Palace XI: Benitez; Munoz, Canvot, Lacroix, Guehi, Sosa; Kamada, Hughes; Sarr, Pino; Nketiah
