JAKARTA - Liverpool hope to find a little joy in the midst of their poor performance against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup Fourth Round match at Anfield on Thursday, October 29, 2025.
Defending Premier League champions Arne Slot have lost four games in a row in the league, with their latest loss 2-3 to Brentford on weekends.
They became the fourth reigning champions to have lost four games in a row, with Arne Slot saying that the defeat to Brentford was the worst.
Liverpool have lost four consecutive league games for the first time since February 2021.
Their four defeats in nine matches were as many as their defeat in the league over the past season.
"You can't compare everything, the most worrying thing is that you lose four times in a row."
"So, the results are always important. After that, you can assess the performance, which I think, today is the worst of the four defeats we suffered," he told TNT Sports after the match against Brentford.

Liverpool and Crystal Palace have met twice this season. The Eagles won the season opener of the Community Shield on penalties and beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Premier League last month.
Arne Slot will probably make a lot of changes to the line-up with players like Federico Chiesa, Alexis Mac Allister, and Rio Ngumoha who have the potential to play from the start, while Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are likely to be rested.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace started their season well, but since their win against Liverpool in the league, they lost to Everton, AEK Larnaca, Arsenal, and share points with Bournemouth in a 3-3 draw.
In the last five meetings between the two teams, Crystal Palace won three times while Liverpool only won once.
Amid that poor encounter record, Liverpool hopes for the light of victory to stop Crystal Palace's superiority as well as improve match statistics this season.
