After a continuous poor run of form, Liverpool will play against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup fourth round at Anfield on Wednesday. The Reds will be hoping to bounce back from their recent poor league results and take control at home. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, will look to use the cup game as a fresh opportunity to surprise Liverpool and change their own progress. Liverpool vs Crystal Palace preview Liverpool is going through a tough time. They have lost four Premier League games in a row, something that has not happened since March 2021. Their most recent defeat was a surprising 3-2 loss to Brentford. Manager Arne Slot admitted that the team is currently playing at its worst. With their title hopes fading, they now need a strong performance in the EFL Cup to bring back confidence and lift spirits at the club. Adding to the pressure, Liverpool have also lost five games in a row in London, a bad record they have not had since 1970. All of this shows how important it is for the team to bounce back and find some stability. Crystal Palace come into this match without a win in their last four games, including three losses. They have been struggling to stay consistent. This EFL Cup clash gives them a fresh chance to turn things around and test a Liverpool side that has been shaky at the back, especially when defending set pieces and quick counter-attacks.

However, Palace have had the most recent wins with a Community Shield victory at the beginning of the season and a 2-1 win in a league match this season. Although Liverpool will be the favourite for punters willing to bet on this match, their recent performance in the league and against the Eagles makes things complicated. Liverpool vs Crystal Palace team news Liverpool has no fresh injury concerns at the moment. Frimpong, Alisson, and Chambers are still sidelined. The club is monitoring the situations of striker Alexander Isak and midfielder Gravenberch for a possible return to action. Ekitike will continue to lead the attack line in the absense of struggling Isak, even though we expect some rotation from the coach since this is a cup match. Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has no major injury or suspension news. They will likely use a mix of regular starters and backup players, trying to rest some while still putting out a competitive team.
