An inexperienced Liverpool stumbled to a sixth defeat in their last seven matches as they were beaten 3–0 by Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.
The fourth round match was already the third encounter between the two sides this season, with Liverpool having been defeated in the previous two, and Arne Slot’s much-changed team found themselves in a familiar position at half time as they trailed by two goals. Ismaïla Sarr’s quick-fire brace plunged the Reds further into crisis.
