It's EFL Cup fourth-round action on Wednesday, October 29, and Liverpool could lose another shot at silverware when they reunite with Crystal Palace at Anfield.
Arne Slot's faltering crop have lost five of their last six matches across all competitions, but their capital counterparts are also enduring a miserable run after the end of their club-record unbeaten sequence.
📈Team Form📉
🔴 Liverpool: 5 losses in last 6 games (all competitions). 4 consecutive Premier League defeats.
🦅 Crystal Palace: Winless in 4 games. 3 defeats since the start of the month.
📊Key Stats & Head-to-Head 📊
🔥 Crystal Palace can beat Liverpool in three consecutive months after August's Community Shield and last month's Premier League victory.
🔥 Eagles unbeaten at Anfield since September 2021.
🔥 Liverpool have kept just two clean sheets in 14 games.
🔥 Palace have never won the EFL Cup in their 120-year history.
🔬What to Expect From Both Teams🔥
🔴Liverpool| all competitions form: 🔴🔴🔴🔴🟢🔴
In full-blown crisis mode, the Reds are just the fourth reigning champions to suffer four consecutive Premier League defeats. Defensive issues persist with only two clean sheets in 14 games. Slot must fix their capitulation with Champions League hopes fading.
🦅Crystal Palace | all competitions form: 🟢🟢🔴🟡🔴🔴
The visitors' club-record 19-game unbeaten run seems distant after recent losses. Glasner's tendency to keep faith with core starters may see changes due to fatigue. They advanced via a penalty-shootout win over Millwall in the previous round.
👥Predicted Lineups👥
🔴Liverpool (possible):
Woodman; Ramsay, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Mac Allister; Chiesa, Szoboszlai, Ngumoha; Ekitike.
🦅Crystal Palace (possible):
Benitez; Canvot, Lacroix, Guehi; Clyne, Lerma, Hughes, Sosa; Esse, Devenny; Nketiah.
🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch👀
✨Arne Slot — under pressure to stop Liverpool's slide and defensive woes.
✨Freddie Woodman — the third-choice goalkeeper, could start in a defensive crisis.
✨Eddie Nketiah — Palace's match-winner in last month's victory over Liverpool.
✨Nathaniel Clyne — former Liverpool defender in line for start against old club.
