Liverpool XI vs Crystal Palace: Arne Slot is poised to implement several changes, featuring a 17-year-old talent in the Liverpool lineup.

Liverpool XI vs Crystal Palace: Anticipated lineup, confirmed team updates, and the latest injury news for today’s Carabao Cup match.

Arne Slot may give a debut to a summer acquisition at Anfield.

Arne Slot is likely to introduce significant changes to his Liverpool squad for the Carabao Cup fourth-round clash against Crystal Palace.

The current Premier League champions enter the match at Anfield following a 3-2 loss to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday night.

The Reds have not secured a victory against the Eagles in their last three encounters and have yet to rectify their FA Cup final loss.

A key highlight was Mohamed Salah’s return to the starting XI after being benched for the 5-1 triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League just three days earlier.

That win halted a streak of four consecutive defeats for the Reds, but they suffered another setback in west London as Dango Ouattara, Kevin Schade, and Igor Thiago scored for the Bees.

Now, they are up against Crystal Palace, who have already bested them twice this season – first in the Community Shield via penalties in August and then in the Premier League match at Selhurst Park last month.

Joe Gomez is anticipated to make his second start of the season for Liverpool.

With upcoming matches against Aston Villa, Real Madrid, and Manchester City, it is expected that Slot will seize the chance to rotate his squad as much as possible.

Freddie Woodman is expected to make his first start for the club, with Alisson Becker still sidelined due to injury and Giorgi Mamardashvili likely to be rested.

With Jeremie Frimpong sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Conor Bradley is expected to take the right-back position once more, while Joe Gomez may partner with Wataru Endo in central defense, allowing Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk to rest.

Andy Robertson is anticipated to step in for Milos Kerkez at left-back, but the midfield duo of Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones will undergo evaluation.

Alexander Isak was unable to travel to the capital over the weekend due to a groin problem and is not likely to be risked even if deemed fit, which suggests that Hugo Ekitike will likely continue as the main striker.

In other attacking news, Federico Chiesa and promising young player Rio Ngumoha are vying for starting positions on the wings, replacing Salah and Cody Gakpo.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Woodman; Bradley, Gomez, Endo, Robertson; Nyoni, Mac Allister; Chiesa, Wirtz, Ngumoha; Ekitike

Injured: Alisson, Frimpong, Leoni

Doubts: Isak, Gravenberch, Jones

Venue: Anfield
