Phew. Just when we were getting worried Liverpool and Crystal Palace hadn't played each other for a few weeks, once again the two sides lock horns in the League Cup this evening.

Arne Slot's side are in a desperate run of form with five defeats in six, but Palace have similarly been failing to impress, having won only once since beating the Reds in dramatic fashion at Selhurst Park more than a month ago.

And here the ECHO writers consider how Liverpool could line up for the clash against the team that has already defeated them twice this season...

Perhaps the biggest question for Arne Slot to wrestle with for tonight's team selection is whether or not he goes strong or rotates heavily.

On one hand, picking his big names for this might offer them a chance...
