Today\u2019s Main LFC Headline<\/p>\n

We may not have had a pre-match press conference from Arne Slot<\/a> but Glasner has still taken the time provide us with some team news.<\/p>\n

The manager revealed<\/a> that back-up goalkeeper Walter Benitez and defender Jaydee Canvot will both start for Crystal Palace<\/a> against Liverpool in Wednesday\u2019s Carabao Cup<\/a> fourth-round tie.<\/p>\n

Canvot should be taking the place of Chris Richards who \u201chas a little bit of an issue with his calf.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"LONDON,<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the Palace team that lost 1-0 to Arsenal<\/a> on Sunday, Glasner said they \u201care fine and recovered well.\u201d<\/p>\n

With regard to Liverpool team news, Curtis Jones<\/a>, Alexander Isak<\/a> and Ryan Gravenberch<\/a> are doubts. We do know, though, that Freddie Woodman<\/a> should start in goal. <\/p>\n

Three other surprise inclusions in the squad could be youngsters Kieran Morrison, Trent Kone-Doherty and Calvin Ramsay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Arne Slot<\/a> has not given a pre-match press conference but said in his programme notes he had \u201cnot made a final decision on the squad\u201d at the time of writing \u2013 not much of a clue on team news there then<\/p>\n

Following another below-par performance at Brentford<\/a>, Joanna Durkan has made the case that it is best for all parties for Milos Kerkez<\/a> to be dropped:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no requirement for Slot to label either Kerkez or Robertson as his first choice, as there are enough games to go around, but restoring the Scot is the right place to start for Slot.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis vice-captain has an established relationship with Gakpo, has a second-nature partnership with Van Dijk and, crucially, can help inject progressive movement from the backline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 31-year-old is not the gung-ho left-back of yesteryear, but last season he averaged 6.38 progressive passes per 90 minutes, and, as per FBref, Kerkez is averaging 4.66 this season in the Premier League<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

With Steven Gerrard<\/a> given the night off by Rodgers, Jordan Henderson<\/a> captained Liverpool for the first time as he led the team out in the League Cup<\/a> on October 28, 2014.<\/p>\n

The Anfield occasion finished with a 2-1 win against the manager\u2019s former club, Swansea, as goals from Mario Balotelli and Dejan Lovren<\/a> turned the tie around late on.<\/p>\n

Henderson would go on to captain the club on 268 total occasions, putting him fifth on the list of Liverpool players with the most appearances as skipper. <\/p>\n

Only Gerrard (470), Ron Yeats (417), Emlyn Hughes (335) and Donald McKinlay (293) are above him in that respect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Oliver Glasner confirmed two of Crystal Palace\u2018s starters against Liverpool, the Reds were linked to an Ecuadorian…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,20608,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-230632","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-round-up","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
