The EFL Cup is back in action with another set of matches this week as Crystal Palace lock horns with Arne Slot's Liverpool side in a crucial encounter at Anfield on Wednesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Preview
Crystal Palace are currently in 10th place in the Premier League standings and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. The Eagles slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best so far this season. The Merseyside outfit slumped to a shock 3-2 defeat at the hands of Brentford last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
