London, Oct 30 (NationPress) Liverpool's misery continued as the Reds faced elimination from the Carabao Cup, crushed by Crystal Palace with a decisive 3-0 scoreline at Anfield.

This marks Liverpool's sixth loss in their last seven matches this season, a dismal record that hasn't been seen since 1953, when the Reds suffered five straight domestic defeats. Their only recent win was in the UEFA Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Since September 27, Liverpool has the unfortunate distinction of being the team with the most losses among Europe's top five leagues. This defeat also highlights a troubling trend, as it is the third time in just 80 days that Crystal Palace has bested Liverpool, following a penalty shootout defeat in the FA Community Shield in August and a 2-1 loss in the Premier League at Selhurst Park, which initiated this current losing streak.

This game represented Liverpool's most significant defeat under their current manager Slot, who is now left hoping to turn things around when Aston Villa visits Anfield this Saturday.

In contrast, Premier League leaders Arsenal continued their impressive form, achieving their eighth consecutive win and moving closer to breaking their EFL Cup drought.

Goals from Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka in the second half propelled the Gunners into the quarter-finals of a tournament they haven't claimed since 1993.

Arsenal is set to face Crystal Palace in the final eight.

Meanwhile, Manchester City narrowly avoided an upset against EFL Championship side Swansea, securing a 3-1 victory after a tightly contested match.

Swansea took an early lead and nearly doubled their advantage before Jeremy Doku equalized with a deflected shot just before halftime.

City dominated possession, but it wasn't until the 77th minute that they took the lead through Omar Marmoush's powerful strike.

A late goal from Rayan Cherki sealed the win, allowing Pep Guardiola's side to advance to the quarter-finals.

City aims to capture their ninth League Cup title, with only Liverpool having claimed more trophies than their current total of eight. They will meet Brentford at the Etihad Stadium in the quarter-final on December 15.

Chelsea managed to secure their place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup despite a late scare, with both Andrey Santos and Jamie Gittens netting their first goals for the Blues.

Chelsea will travel to face Cardiff City in the quarter-finals scheduled for December.
