Liverpool will face Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup next month following its win over Southampton on Tuesday.

The win came at a cost for Arne Slot’s side, with Giovanni Leoni stretchered off in the second half and now facing a lengthy spell out injured, while Ekitike was sent off after picking up a second yellow card with his celebration, meaning he will now miss Saturday’s Premier League game at Crystal Palace.
