After seeing off Southampton in September, the Reds host Crystal Palace in round four on Wednesday night at Anfield.

Winners in 2022 and 2024 before being beaten in last season’s final, Arne Slot’s side will be aiming to move a step closer to another special occasion at Wembley.

With Giorgi Mamardashvili currently first choice between the posts due to Alisson Becker being sidelined by injury, the tie could present summer arrival Woodman the opportunity to make his competitive debut for the club.

In an interview for the official matchday programme, the No.28 says: “Any time I get to pull on the jersey for this club, whether it be a pre-season game or whatever competition, I’ll always just try to do my best and enjoy the moment, because I’ve spent a lot of time playing in the Championship and so to play for a club with this history is pretty special.

“It’s clear that this club takes the competition seriously, like it does every competition. When you get to the latter stages, you go to Wembley and you see how important it is to the fans.

“We train in the goalkeeping area at the AXA Training Centre and I regularly see the photo of Caoimhin Kelleher on the wall after his success in the recent finals, and that’s how important it is.

“You can really write yourself into history if you win trophies at this club, so I know how important it is and the club recognises how important this competition is too.”
