Overview
- Ismaila Sarr scored twice and Yeremy Pino added a late third as Palace won 3–0 at Anfield to beat Liverpool for a third time this season.
- Arne Slot made 10 changes from the Brentford defeat and left out senior figures including Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, naming a bench dominated by academy players.
- Liverpool have lost six of their last seven in all competitions and four straight in the league, with some reports noting five successive domestic defeats for the first time since 1953.
- Teenage defender Amara Nallo was sent off 12 minutes after coming on, his second red card in as many senior appearances for the club.
- Slot cited having only 15–16 first‑team players effectively available and the schedule of Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Manchester City in eight days, as pundits criticised his selection and Palace fans taunted him from the away end.
