Liverpool host Crystal Palace in the League Cup fourth round at Anfield on Wednesday.
The Reds escaped a late scare to beat Championship side Southampton in the last round.
Palace also dug deep to advance, needing penalties to beat Millwall at Selhurst Park.
Match preview
Liverpool lost at Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday. They have just one win in their last six games across all competitions and will be desperate to return to winning ways.
The Merseyside outfit are the most successful side in the League Cup and will hope the tournament can give them a much-needed boost.
It is unclear whether manager Arne Slot will field a strong team given their upcoming schedule, which includes matches against Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Palace have suffered a dip in form after their impressive start to the season, failing to win any of their last four games across all competitions.
However, the Eagles are unbeaten in their last two games against Liverpool. This encounter could be one of the most exciting of the round.
Head-to-head
Liverpool have triumphed 37 times, drawn 14 and lost 17 of their previous fixtures with Palace.
Team news
Liverpool are without goalkeeper Alisson Becker, Giovanni Leoni and Jeremie Frimpong. Alexander Isak and Ryan Gravenberch are doubtful.
Palace are only missing Caleb Kporha, Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure for the trip to Anfield.
