Liverpool were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening as Arne Slot named a much-changed team following the Reds’ woeful form in the Premier League. Milos Kerkez was the only Liverpool player to keep his place from the defeat at Brentford at the weekend, with no senior players named on the bench.

Liverpool began brightly but fell behind when Ismaila Sarr pounced on a mistake by Joe Gomez in the 41st minute. And the Reds fell further behind just before half time as Sarr was teed up well before picking out the corner of the goal. Liverpool were bereft of ideas and had no response at the other end as Yeremy Pino added a third late on after 18-year-old Liverpool ace Amara Nallo had been sent off 12 minutes after coming on. And Express Sport rates and slates the Reds players.

Calvin Ramsay: 4
