Liverpool fell to a heavy 3-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace as a much-changed side were knocked out of the League Cup at the fourth round stage at Anfield.

Arne Slot made 10 changes to the side that lost to Brentford, with Milos Kerkez the only starter to retain his place. Meanwhile, the Dutchman left out the majority of his senior players as he named a bench entirely of academy players.

Late goals in each half from Ismaila Sarr (2) and Yeremy Pino ultimately ensured such a decision backfired on the night as Liverpool fell to their sixth loss from the last seven games.

But Slot will be hope such a decision is vindicated in a mammoth week to come ahead of the international break when the Reds lock horns with Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Man City.
