On October 30th, 2025, Liverpool suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. The loss marked the Reds' fifth defeat in six matches across all competitions, as their poor run of form continued.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot made 10 changes to the starting lineup, resting the majority of his senior players and opting to give opportunities to younger and fringe players. The decision was likely made with the team's crucial Premier League and Champions League fixtures in the coming days in mind.
However, the much-changed Liverpool side started the match brightly, maintaining control for the majority of the first half. But just before the break, Crystal Palace struck twice in quick succession, with Ismaila Sarr scoring both goals to put the visitors in control.
