Liverpool fell to a heavy 3-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace as a much-changed side were knocked out of the League Cup at the fourth round stage at Anfield. Arne Slot made 10 changes to the side that lost to Brentford, with Milos Kerkez the only starter to retain his place. Meanwhile, the Dutchman left out the majority of his senior players as he named a bench entirely of academy players. Late goals in each half from Ismaila Sarr (2) and Yeremy Pino ultimately ensured such a decision backfired on the night as Liverpool fell to their sixth loss from the last seven games. But Slot will be hope such a decision is vindicated in a mammoth week to come ahead of the international break when the Reds lock horns with Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Man City.

0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to your post-match podcast, live here from Anfield,
0:04.9	in association with NordVPN, brought to you by the Liverpool Echo.
0:08.0	I'm your host, Theo Squires, and it's been another disappointing night at Liverpool Football Club
0:12.0	as they fall to sixth defeat from the last seven games.
0:14.8	They are out of the League Cup after a heavy 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
0:20.1	A much-changed side from Arnestlot for this one.
0:22.4	He made 10 changes.
0:23.4	There's a formation change as well.
0:25.1	A lot of youngsters involved, and that gamble, well, on the night, it's not worked for him.
0:30.3	It's backfired.
0:31.3	Liverpool fall into that 3-0 defeat.
0:33.2	We'll see in time whether the decision to rest so many senior stars pays off when Liverpool
0:39.0	got a big week coming against Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Manchester City. If they can
0:43.4	respond in those games, Arna Slott will say he was justified with his decision. Obviously

0:54.6	fall into this heavy defeat. They were the better side for the majority of the first half,
0:59.4	truth be told, but then his Melasar gets a brace just before half-time. And by that point,
1:04.8	you know what way it's going to go. Liverpool only had Academy players on that bench. It was a
1:09.4	massive ask from that point to try and find a way
1:11.9	back into the game. But they dug in deep and they managed to keep the score respectable, kept it at
1:17.5	two until substitute Amara Nalo was sent off for professional foul late on. That was what, two
