Liverpool crashed out of the 2025-26 League Cup after a 3-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace, Arne Slot’s sixth loss in seven across competitions. Rotating all but Alexis Mac Allister and Milos Kerkez before a looming league date with Aston Villa, Slot’s youthful XI were overrun by a lightly rotated Palace.
