Liverpool 0-3 Crystal Palace Carabao Cup 4th Round | Anfield October 29, 2025 Goals Sarr 40′ Sarr 45′ Pino 88′ Red card: Nallo 79′ Slot makes 10 changes with two debuts In a clear indication of his priorities, Slot not only made 10 changes for the Carabao Cup but avoiding naming any senior players among his substitutes.

Half-time: Liverpool 0-2 Crystal Palace Nightmare for substitute Nallo With no experience on the bench – the most involved at first-team level being Kaide Gordon – it was no surprise at all to see Slot stick with the same side after half-time.
Liverpool’s first changes came with 67 minutes on the clock and Slot showed his lack of interest in the competition by introducing two young centre-backs in Wellity Lucky and Amara Nallo for Robertson and Alexis Mac Allister. But given the lineup Slot fielded and his decision to rest every other senior player, they never really had a chance in the first place.
