Reds bid to get season back on track and seal quarter-final spot
Liverpool and Crystal Palace meet in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
The Reds are reeling after four straight Premier League defeats and will be looking to start building some momentum as they bid to get their season back on track.
But they face a tough test against a Palace side who have already beaten them twice this season, in the Community Shield and in the Premier League.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game…
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace is scheduled for a 7:45pm GMT kick-off on Wednesday October 29, 2025.
The match will take place at Anfield in Liverpool.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports Premier League. Coverage starts at 7pm.
Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Sky Go app.
Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog.
Liverpool were without record signing Alexander Isak and Ryan Gravenberch for Saturday’s 3-2 loss at Brentford, while it seems unlikely that they will be risked here even if fit with huge games against the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City approaching fast.
Alisson Becker is not expected to be ready to return from a hamstring injury and Giorgi Mamardashvili is likely to be rested after starting the last five games in a row in the absence of the first-choice goalkeeper.
Jeremie Frimpong (also hamstring) will be out for weeks and Giovanni Leoni for around a year after surgery on a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Cheick Doucoure and teenage defender Caleb Kporha are still sidelined for Palace, while Chadi Riad is expected to resume training soon after a long-term knee injury.
Oliver Glasner confirmed on Tuesday that Walter Benitez and Jaydee Canvo will both start at Anfield but Chris Richards will be absent from the matchday squad after suffering a calf issue in the loss to Arsenal.

Just how much longer can this Liverpool malaise continue?
Jamie Carragher believes they have already entered “crisis mode” and Arne Slot will be desperate to turn the tide as quickly as he can, even if the Carabao Cup probably doesn’t hold a great deal of prominence in the grand scheme of things.
Palace have been a real bogey team for Liverpool in recent years and they will be relishing the chance to pile more misery on a Reds side over whom they will feel they have a psychological edge after beating them twice already this season.
However, Glasner’s men aren’t in their best moment either, winless in four having drawn successive blanks.
Liverpool to win, 2-1.
Liverpool have won none of their last three games against Palace, while they have not beaten them at all at Anfield since 2021.
Their last League Cup meeting came 20 years ago, when then European champions Liverpool lost 2-1 at Selhurst Park in the third round.
Liverpool wins: 37
Crystal Palace wins: 17
Draws: 14
Liverpool to go through: 1/3
Crystal Palace to go through: 2/1
