"Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted it is "not Liverpool standards" to lose six games out of seven in all competitions after the Reds fell to a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup Fourth Round. Last season's finalists, who are enduring a miserable run of form, were comprehensively beaten at Anfield courtesy of a first-half Ismaila Sarr brace and a Yeremy Pino goal late on."
"Next week will see Liverpool face Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Manchester City in the space of eight days in what could be a season-defining period for the reigning Premier League champions. "It's not Liverpool standards to lose five out of six [games], it's not Liverpool standards to lose six out of seven," Slot told Sky Sports. "So the pressure might decrease a little bit but not so much because the pressure was already very high.""
Liverpool were beaten 3-0 by Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup Fourth Round, with Ismaila Sarr scoring a first-half brace and Yeremy Pino adding a late goal. Palace have now defeated Liverpool three times this season, including the Community Shield and a Premier League meeting. Liverpool made ten changes to the starting lineup to give young players opportunities. The team has lost six of seven matches across competitions and has only around 15–16 first-team players available. Liverpool face Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Manchester City within eight days, increasing pressure on the squad.
