Sarr at the double for the visitors, it's now seven in his last nine against Liverpool. 20:14Ian DoyleLiverpool steadyThere isn't much goal threat in this Liverpool line-up, but they are more than holding their own so far.Palace look more affected by their five changes than the Reds are with their 10.20:13Paul GorstNgumoha 'at it'Ngumoha has Palace terrifed here, he's constantly running at them and causing problems.

There's also a debut for Keiran Morrison wide right and a first start for Calvin Ramsay in three years in the Liverpool first team. Good to see Kieran Morrison handed his debut, he's been impressing at the academy for a long while!I'm also interested to see how Calvin Ramsay gets on after being handed his first Liverpool appearance for three years.But the lack of first teamers on the bench offers a rather big clue as to just how big a priority tonight's game is for Slot.18:34Paul GorstTeam news in fullFreddie Woodman makes his Liverpool debut as Andy Robertson captains the side against Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
