Liverpool v Crystal Palace: Confirmed line-ups as Ngumoha and Chiesa start in much-changed line-up

Crystal Palace will hope to inflict more misery on Liverpool when they clash at Anfield in the fourth round of the EFL Cup tonight.

The Eagles beat the Merseysiders on penalties in the season-opening Community Shield and then edged out Arne Slot’s men 2-1 in the Premier League on September 27.

Palace offered stiff resistance at Arsenal on Sunday before going down 1-0 but will hope to add more creative flair after a largely toothless display at the Emirates.

Liverpool were beaten at Brentford on Saturday evening, their fourth straight loss in the top flight, to slip to seventh in the table.
