Against Crystal Palace, Liverpool fielded a reserve team with many players playing outside their natural positions. It is understandable that Liverpool is not "serious" about the League Cup because they are not in good form. At this time, going deep in a tournament means an additional burden.

With the reserve team, Liverpool still had a better position than their opponents. However, their effectiveness in attacks was not as good as Crystal Palace's.

After the first 45 minutes of play, Liverpool conceded 2 goals. Both of Crystal Palace's goals were scored by Ismaila Sarr (minutes 41 and 45).

In the second half, Liverpool continued to put a series of young players on the field, making the home team's chance to reverse the game even less.

As a result, Crystal Palace scored another goal thanks to Yeremi Pino (minute 88) to end the match with a score of 3-0.

Apart from Liverpool being eliminated, other giants such as Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea all qualified for the next round. Arsenal beat Brighton 2-0, Man City defeated Swansea 3-1 and Chelsea beat Wolves 4-3. In another notable match, Newcastle qualified for the next round after a 2-0 win over Tottenham.

The 2025-2026 League Cup quarter-finals have been confirmed, with the full eight teams participating: Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Brentford, Fulham, Cardiff, and Crystal Palace. The quarter-final matches of the tournament will take place on November 16 and 17.
