Hello everyone, welcome to the Red Bend TV. It is the Uncented Match Buildup Show. It is the Caraval Cup tomorrow slash the EFL and we think it is the fourth round of said competition, but we're not 100% sure. I actually looked on the website at the fixtures. It didn't even tell me on their website. I'm sure it would have done it I'd have looked further but I expected on the

fixture page for it to say it and it didn't. You just have to do maths don't you work

back from the final and 16 teams left. That must be the fourth round. So we're here. I'm

joined obviously by Andy and by Sam for this one. We've got Crystal Palace again which is

fantastic really Sam isn't it? Because you know we've not had a tough game against them so far this season. No, they kind of keep coming back to Horns us a little bit. But a different competition, fresh start this time round. Yeah, remember they've won in both of the other competitions they've played. I don't count the community shield, so... No, okay. Is it in our Gaff? No it's in their gaff they won. Yeah?

Yeah.

When you say like that it doesn't sound very optimistic but I've been feeling

dead happy about this game because it's just not the Premier League

and I do think maybe change a few players up might do as a bit of good bit, a bit of hunger in the team because some of the players look quite mentally shot. So maybe play a few youngsters, Gekkees are on the pitch. And it's a chance for people who don't always get to go to Amfield to go to to Anfield for the League Cup. Yeah, we were just discussed actually before this, that there's got to be a lot of people who don't normally get to go to Amph it. There are lots of spares around for this game. Yeah, and I was telling you before, my family are over. They'll try and get the six or seven games a season where possible, and I've managed to get four in the cop together. When else were able to get four in the cop together? I think you suggested maybe Hodgson. So, it's in, you know, everyone who goes to the game that for midweek games, there are a few more spares knocking around, even for Champions League than on the weekend where obviously people can come over from Ireland and whatnot. But yeah, for this one, there are quite a lot going around. But I mean, like I am quite excited for it. You know, I know the last couple of, well, the last six, five of the last six

have left us feeling very despondent after it. But I think for this one, you're now looking at it and depending on where you think we are in terms of the title race, I personally can't see us getting back into it. I know that's very defeatist and pessimistic, but I can't. So I'm sort of looking at. Can we get to Wembley this season? Can we get a run

in the European Cup? Because I don't want to get to February

and just sort of looking at, can we get to Wembley this season? Can we get a run in the European Cup?

Because I don't want to get to February and just sort of be trudging up to the Anfield every other Saturday. No, and you need to get between 1.6 and 1.8 points per game to get the top five. You like to have something to look forward to. and no matter what the competition

a trip to Wembley always is nice

and we've got a bit of history there

three of the last four we've been in

let's make it for the last five
