"Palace beat Liverpool for the third time this season to advance into the quarter-finals thanks to two goals from Ismaila Sarr and a first Palace goal from Yeremy Pino. A comfortable 3-0 victory was aided by Slot's decision to make 10 changes from the Liverpool team that started at Brentford on Saturday, with nine inexperienced youngsters on the bench. But Slot, who admitted selecting with an eye on Saturday's Premier League game against Aston Villa, stood by his call."
"There are many reasons why we've lost six out of seven, none of them are good enough to accept losing so many. Liverpool losing that many is always too much. Our performance against Brentford, two days after we played Frankfurt away, I saw a team that struggled with playing three games in seven days. In two days, we play Villa"
Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 3-0 to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, with Ismaila Sarr scoring twice and Yeremy Pino netting his first Palace goal. Arne Slot made ten changes to the starting XI and named nine inexperienced youngsters on the bench, citing fixture congestion and injuries ahead of the Premier League match against Aston Villa. Slot defended the selection despite the defeat and accepted he was under pressure after six losses in seven games. He pointed to a limited senior squad of 15–16 players, recent injuries to Alexander Isak and Giovanni Leoni, two yellow cards for Hugo Ekitike, and the club's tradition of using the competition for academy players.
