Liverpool are bracing themselves to face Crystal Palace's long-ball tactics in their Carabao Cup meeting at Anfield. According to Federico Chiesa, the Liverpool forward who has previously been on the receiving end of Palace's aerial threat, the Reds should be well-equipped to handle this approach.
Chiesa believes that Liverpool's struggles are not a long-term issue and that his team will be able to counter Palace's style of play. "We have players that are world-class and can be put in any situation and will perform," he said. In essence, the forward is saying that Liverpool has the quality and depth to overcome Palace's tactics.
Chiesa also highlighted the importance of high-intensity pressing and winning duels as key components in Liverpool's approach. He believes that his team will be able to match Palace's physicality and intensity, particularly when it comes to defending against long balls and set pieces.
The prospect of facing Palace's long-ball strategy was met with confidence from Chiesa, who stated that "winning brings winning". This mantra seems to have become a rallying cry for the Liverpool dressing room as they look to bounce back from recent defeats.
However, despite the optimism surrounding their upcoming match against Palace, there are still concerns about the fitness of several key players. With injuries piling up, including those to Alisson and Alexander Isak, Jürgen Klopp's team will need to be at full strength if they hope to overcome Palace.
In terms of selection, Freddie Woodman could potentially make his Liverpool debut against Palace, alongside youngsters Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha. Meanwhile, Kieran Morrison, an 18-year-old right winger who was unused as a substitute at Brentford, could also feature in the starting lineup.
The stage is set for a high-intensity Carabao Cup tie between two teams looking to get back on track after recent setbacks. With Liverpool's quality and depth on show, it would be a surprise if Palace were able to overcome their hosts.

liverpool is lookin like they're on the rebound from those recent losses and chiesa's words are so true - they've got the talent and depth to take on any team, including palace 
plus with woodman potentially makin his debut, i think they'll be even more formidable 
but at the same time, i gotta feel for palace - those long-ball tactics can be super tough to deal with 
hopefully we get a thrilling match with plenty of action and drama 
. I mean, we've seen it before and it never ends well for teams that rely on aerial threats 
. Liverpool has got this one covered 
they say confidence is key but u can only do so much when ur team has half the squad injured lol 
. The vibe around Anfield is gonna be electric, too! 
injuries r mountin up & its hard 2 see how they'll bounce back from these defeats 
but federico chiesa seems confident in lfc's ability 2 handle palace's long-ball tactics 
the youngbloods like trey nyoni & rio ngumoha might just bring some fresh energy 2 the table 
& let's be real, lfc's got some of the best players in the world 
so i think they'll come out on top 
️...but I think we're up for it 
liverpool is lookin good after dat recent loss they got da quality & depth 2 take down palace's long-ball tactic 
federico chiesa said it all we got world-class players 2 perform in any situation & pal ace will b the 1 2 beat dem 
. we need to get all our key players back ASAP so jürgen klopp can pick his strongest team. hopefully, freddie woodman and some of the youngsters can step up and show us what they're made of 
they've been working on those long balls in training & chiesa is just trying to hype up the lads lol anyway, gotta respect palace's approach, can't just sit back & wait for counter-attacks. need to be physically fit, especially with alisson out 
it'll be interesting to see how palace's strategy plays out in anfield 
fingers crossed for a Liverpool win 
.
