Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Prediction, 02:45 October 30: 2 crisis players

TPO - Football analysis Liverpool vs Crystal Palace, round of 16 of the English League Cup - Information on forces, expected lineup, performance, history of confrontation. Both teams are going through a series of matches to forget. Today's match is an opportunity for them to push back the crisis.

Pre-match comments Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

Liverpool and Crystal Palace are once again an inseparable pair this season. The two teams will meet for the third time this season after two in the Premier League and the Community Shield, this time in the EFL Cup. The round of 16 match will be an opportunity for one of the two teams to sink the opponent into the quagmire.

Liverpool are in crisis. That is for sure. Arne Slot’s team has suddenly become naive, weak in defence and vulnerable in attack. Liverpool, who refuse to change their style of play against any particular opponent, always playing fast pressing and relentless attacking football, are now paying the price for their mistakes.

Brentford proved this last weekend. They didn't need to be too flexible, didn't need to be too fierce to beat Liverpool 3-2. It was a weak match for Liverpool when veterans like Van Dijk and Salah suddenly became a burden for the team. Van Dijk defended carelessly and Salah mishandled the ball every time he got it. The goal he scored in the 88th minute couldn't cover up the 33-year-old star's poor performance. Because Salah himself caused 2 goals for the home team when he passed the ball wrongly.

Form, head-to-head record Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

Liverpool played their only League Cup game in form, but even their 2-1 win over Southampton was hard-fought. Goals from Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike secured the win, but the English champions could only match the lower league side in terms of quantity and quality of chances created.

Palace are also in a crisis, but to a lesser extent. The team, which had been on an impressive unbeaten run since the start of the season, has now gone four games without a win, including three defeats. Notably, in the Conference League, they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Cypriot side AEK Larnaca, where Oliver Glasner's team lost despite dominating the entire match.

Palace were also unimpressive in the previous round of the League Cup, leaving fans quite worried. They could not hold on to a narrow lead against Millwall, conceding in stoppage time and were forced to qualify for the round of 16 via a penalty shootout (4-2).

With the fragility of the two teams, it is really too difficult to judge this match. However, with Liverpool's fragile personnel, fans have reason to worry about them...
