Liverpool return to Anfield on Wednesday night for their latest Carabao Cup fixture.
After losing at Brentford over the weekend, the Reds have just a few days before their next match.
This will be their third meeting with Crystal Palace this season, having already faced them twice.
Arne Slot’s side lost to the Eagles on penalties in the Community Shield and were also beaten in the league last month by a late goal.
The Dutch coach is expected to make several changes to the line-up, with one player set to make his debut for the club.
Freddie Woodman set for Liverpool debut against Crystal Palace
This cup fixture gives the Reds a chance to rest some legs, though this one may not follow the usual script.
Given the poor run of form, Slot will likely want to name a strong side to get Liverpool back on track and progress in the competition.
Even so, there will be some rotation. According to the Liverpool Echo, one change will see Freddie Woodman come in for Giorgi Mamardashvili in goal.
Woodman, who arrived on a free from Preston North End over the summer, was brought in as third-choice goalkeeper.
But with Alisson sidelined by injury, he is now expected to start against Palace, while Mamardashvili drops to the bench.
It is a notable decision from Slot given how important this game feels. But he clearly trusts Woodman enough to handle the occasion and deliver what is needed.
Giorgi Mamardashvili will be disappointed
With Mamardashvili originally serving as the backup, he likely feels he should be getting the nod for cup matches, despite becoming a regular starter recently.
Once Alisson is back fit, Mamardashvili will probably find himself back on the bench and short on chances to play. That is why he would want to get as many games in now before that happens.
His performances have not always been convincing, especially when playing out from the back. But his shot-stopping against Brentford was solid, so he might feel a bit hard done by here.
Still, this could be a big moment for Woodman. Slot clearly trusts him enough to hand him a start in an important game, even if it is not what Mamardashvili wanted to hear.
