Liverpool's defeat to Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup will "heap more pressure on Arne Slot," according to Stephen Warnock, with the Reds now losing six of their last seven matches. The Eagles have now beaten Liverpool twice within five weeks.

"Confidence is huge in football - when you see the way Liverpool players are playing at the moment, they are second-guessing everything they do at the moment. They're questioning every decision they make on the football pitch and almost playing negatively." Arne Slot suffered another defeat on Wednesday (Image: Getty Images) Before Wednesday's match, Liverpool hadn't experienced five consecutive defeats in domestic competitions since 1953.

But what did they have on the bench? Despite the extensive changes ultimately resulting in a heavy defeat, Slot maintains it's customary for Liverpool to utilize the Carabao Cup as an opportunity for academy players and defended his team selection.
