Because the score of the first round between the two sides was 5 to 3, the Crystal Palace side had an absolute advantage, so the psychological burden on the Crystal Palace side was not that heavy at this time, and they were very relaxed.

On the contrary, Liverpool's psychological pressure is very high.

In this game, they had to score at least two goals to come back and win and advance to the EFL Cup final.

But, to be honest, this advantage is almost nonexistent.

It is not impossible for Liverpool to defeat Crystal Palace 2-0, but it is very difficult.

Liverpool fans also felt that this game would be very difficult, and they were very worried before the game.

Liverpool's head coach Klopp also said before the game, "For this game, I think we Liverpool still have a chance. But relatively speaking, it is still relatively difficult. Needless to say, the strength of Crystal Palace, and They are still leading by a big score. All I can say about this game is that we at Liverpool will definitely not give up and will definitely go all out. As for the result, we leave it to God."
