IT'S HAPPENING...

On whether resting Liverpool's first team players will pay off...

Only time will tell. If they beat Aston Villa and Real Madrid, and they start to turn a corner, then yes. If it isn't and things continue, then Liverpool fans will get disgruntled.

Managers don't make changes for no reason. But when you need a victory, this was the ideal time to get it.

Right then, I've been told the draw is coming right up.

I was told the same thing half an hour ago.

You're not playing for Bournemouth or Bayer Leverkusen - you're playing for Liverpool.

Liverpool don't expect to compete in competitions, they expect to win them and that is a big difference.

Liverpool

Sky Sports: "Is Saturday's game against Aston Villa a must-win?"

Arne Slot: "Every Liverpool game is a must-win."

Newcastle United

Newcastle goalscorer Nick Woltemade, speaking to Sky Sports: "Joe [Willock] had the ball and I wanted to go behind the centre back and luckily the goalkeeper was coming out, so I just had to head it in.

"I think I play different from the other strikers they had here. I think the team after every game get to know me better. I just want the ball at my feet most of the time but I can help the team and if we all come into it I think we can get really good results.

"This team is so easy for me to come here, new country, a new language, I feel welcome here even from the first day everyone was talking to me.

"I think we all have a good connection which makes it easier for me and even for the other new players."

Carabao Cup

A reminder folks, the Carabao Cup quarter-final draw is scheduled to take place in the next 10 minutes or so.

We'll bring it to you right here.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "Good win today. It took us 15 minutes to be in the game - we did well, scored nice goals, and controlled the game. I don't know how often this happens when you play the champion three times within three months, and you win three times. So, credit to the players."

On Liverpool's team: "We didn't know who they were going to play. Andy Robertson, Endo, Kerkez, and Mac Allister. Mac Allister is a world champion and yes, a few young players. Rio Ngumoha has shown already he can score goals.

"First 15 minutes we didn't do well, we had the feeling we were still in the hotel beds. Played slowly into the game, we scored nice goals, the performance was OK, but it was not a great performance."

I think it heaps more pressure on Arne Slot. There are going to be so many more questions asked of Slot.

Confidence is huge in football - when you see the way Liverpool players are playing at the moment, they are second guessing everything they do at the moment.

They're questioning every decision they make on the football pitch and almost playing negatively.

The Nook: Pathetic! Arne Slot showed no respect to fans who pay good money, and also degraded the competition.

Liverpool Football Club has a gigantic target on its back and it has done for years. Everyone wants to beat them.

Liverpool

Six defeats in seven, no clean sheet in 10...will Liverpool ever win again?!

When we looked at the Liverpool squad at the start of the season, we felt that their starting 11 was better than anybody else.

But what did they have on the bench? We have seen an element of that tonight, and perhaps it isn't as strong at the moment as we thought it was.

Liverpool

As we wait for the draw, time to reflect on another bad night for Liverpool. The most successful club in League Cup history went out after a 3-0 home defeat and finished with 10 players after substitute Amara Nallo was sent off.
