At 03:45 on October 30, Liverpool will face Crystal Palace at Anfield in the fourth round of the League Cup. This is the third meeting between the two teams this season. Before the game, Liverpool's official website reported players' injuries and attendance status.

Alisson, Frimpong and Leoni will all miss this game due to injuries. Hrafenberch and Isak missed the ninth round of the Premier League game against Brentford due to physical recovery issues, and Curtis Jones was replaced in the second half of that game. After the game, Slott said of Curtis Jones: "He asked to be substituted, but he didn't need much treatment when he walked off the field, so I have to observe it again."

In the third round of the League Cup, Liverpool defeated Southampton 2-1. Ekitic received a red card and was suspended for one game. He has completed the suspension and can play against Crystal Palace.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper Freddy Woodman is expected to make his official debut in Liverpool's career in this game, because the Red Army is used to rotating the team's first-choice goalkeeper Mamardashvili in the League Cup.

In an interview with Liverpool's official website, Woodman said: "When I joined this club, my dream and goal was to get a chance to play, and I hope I can realize this wish on Wednesday night. But more importantly, the team gets good results and advances to the next round. This is the importance of this game and this event."
