Crystal Palace travel to Liverpool this evening looking to progress in the Carabao Cup.
After the club’s historic FA Cup win last season, a first-ever major trophy for the Eagles, the South Londoners are looking for further glory. Palace head to Anfield to face a Liverpool side in crisis. The Premier League champions have lost four successive league games in a concerning run of form.
Palace can also take heart from their recent record in this fixture. The Eagles have lost just one of the last five meetings and are unbeaten in the previous fee. That run includes success in August’s Community Shield and a 2-1 win in the Premier League just last month.
