In total, Slot makes 10 changes from Saturday’s dismal 3-2 defeat at Brentford, with Kerkez the only player to keep his place. On his decision to make several changes, Arne Slot said ahead of kick-off: “People who know this club, who follow this club for a few years know that in this competition we also use this for our younger players.

“If we keep playing the same players, like, for example, I tried with Alexander Isak, with players that missed out on pre-season then there is a big risk of another injury and we only have at this moment in time 15, 16 senior players available.” Read more: CONFIRMED: Liverpool XI vs Crystal Palace – Carabao Cup Premier League announce match officials for Liverpool vs Aston Villa Steven Gerrard begins new role after Rangers rejection Want to get the latest Liverpool news direct to your phone?
