20 mins: Diogo Jota’s song rings around Anfield for the usual tribute seen during every Liverpool game this season.

16 mins: CLOSE! Ngumoha proving to be Liverpool’s live wire yet again as he cuts into the box before curling an effort towards the top-right corner.
Benitez thinks it’s going well wide but a late bit of swing means it flashes just beyond the post. Great effort.

14 mins: Liverpool comfortable with just ticking around the back before spotting the run of Chiesa, launching a ball for the Italian to try and latch onto. It’s well defended by Palace, who prevent the forward from getting in behind.
Scores on the doors: Chelsea are already 2-0 up at Wolves, but Swansea have taken a shock lead over Man City!

11 mins: Liverpool give away a free-kick in their own half, handing Palace the chance to potentially expose their hosts’ Achilles heel from set pieces.
It’s lofted in deep by Sosa towards Lacroix, whose header back into the mixer is cleared.

8 mins: Ngumoha nearly gets a sight of goal as he drives towards the box, but his effort is straight at Canvot.
It’s quickly delivered back into the box for Morrison, who heads over.

6 mins: Rio Ngumoha gets the crowd going as he uses his strength to great effect, turning his man before winning the foul.

Here’s Richard Jolly inside Anfield:
“Liverpool are playing with three centre-backs, for the first time in Slot’s reign. Though only one of them (Joe Gomez) actually is a centre-back.”

1 min: An overzealous Chiesa barges into Hughes from behind and winds the midfielder inside 30 seconds.
I think that falls into the “let them know you’re there” category.

KICK-OFF! Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace
A quick reminder that there is no VAR at this stage of the competition.

With Liverpool in a time of crisis, let’s see if they can begin to restore a bit of pride by staying in the Carabao Cup beyond tonight.
But looking at those teams, you have to say that Palace are the favourites.
You’ll Never Walk Alone is sounding around Anfield. Kick-off is next!
