Image source, PA MediaCrystal Palace have now beaten Liverpool three times in three months - having defeated Arne Slot's side on penalties in the Community Shield in August and then won 2-1 in the league at Selhurst Park last month.
The Eagles have never reached the final of this competition, losing in the semi-finals on four occasions, most recently in 2001 - although they had never won the FA Cup or Community Shield before and have picked up both in a six-month golden spell in the club's history.
After Ismaila Sarr's first-half double, they were happy to defend in numbers and let Liverpool have the majority of possession, with the hosts, despite noisy backing from their fans, not testing goalkeeper Walter Benitez in the second half.
Any hope the Liverpool supporters had of fighting back ended when Amara Nallo was sent off only 12 minutes after coming on for bringing down Justin Devenny.
The excellent Yeremy Pino then gave the scoreline a flattering feel with a third goal in the 88th minute as the Eagles fans joyfully mocked the hosts by chanting "can we play you every week?"

Arne Slot has rotated his Liverpool squad, with 10 changes from the side that began the 3-2 loss at Brentford at the weekend.
Milos Kerkez is the only one to stay in the team, which includes 17-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha and 18-year-old midfielders Trey Nyoni and Kieran Morrison.
Goalkeeper Freddie Woodman makes his first competitive start for the Reds following his summer move from Preston.
Captain Marc Guehi starts in defence for Crystal Palace, who have not changed their side as much as their opponents.
Walter Benitez is in goal in place of Dean Henderson, while Eddie Nketiah starts up front, with Jean-Philippe Mateta among the substitutes.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Carabao Cup round of 16 game against Liverpool at Anfield (19:45 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Glasner confirmed defender Chris Richards will miss the trip to Anfield with "a little bit of an issue with his calf" but added that "all the others are fine and recovered well".
Asked if Richards' injury will keep him out of Saturday's visit of Brentford, Glasner said: "I don't think so at the moment, but we don't take any risks because Chris didn't play against AEK Larnaca – we rested him for that game – so it's not that his load is high. Let's see – I can't tell you more at the moment."
Glasner also confirmed Jaydee Canvot and Walter Benitez will start against Liverpool: "It's not a gift – they deserve it. Jaydee, I spoke to him and said I don't care about [his error against Larnaca last week], it's part of football. He won a lot of duels, and he's doing well in training. We trust him, and that's why he will start tomorrow in the back three. Walter is the same. He's doing so well in training, and he deserves to get some minutes as well."
Asked about the future of Marc Guehi, following links with Bayern Munich, Glasner said the defender "can play for every club in the world".
On Sunday's defeat to Arsenal: "The players showed at the Emirates that they are fit and they could try to get the equaliser until the final whistle, so it looks positive."
On Arne Slot's side and their recent form: "A little bit more question marks, we don't know which they are playing. Usually in the EFL Cup they would rotate quite a lot. They have a few doubts with injuries but the way they are playing won't really change."
Reflecting on Palace's form since the international break, Glasner said: "We have taken one point, that is fact. Not the best output but we didn't drop our performances compared to the games before. We watched the Arsenal game back and we gave them two finishes, two shots from open play over 100 minutes at the Emirates. Yes they were better than we were in set-pieces, that's why they won the game."

Image source, Getty ImagesOver four days, it was a pair of 1-0 defeats for Oliver Glasner and Crystal Palace - two identical scorelines, coming from differing performances. Curiously, the team appeared more comfortable away from home against the Premier League leaders than at home against the travelling team from Cyprus.
The struggle to break down low blocks or to dominate when heavily in possession has been an underlying issue for this Palace team, as was the case on Thursday. It is a scenario that Glasner has not often faced, aside from the early rounds of cup competitions.
As a team that thrives in transition, there will be few match-ups in the Premier League where the team's base 3-4-2-1 setup is not effective, or at least competitive. Even in battles with similar styles, there are often opportunities to counter.
The question is whether fans should be concerned if the likes of AEK Larnaca can successfully defend and frustrate the "stronger" team on paper on occasion. Or, in fact, if it will be an issue that will dissipate should the team make it to the knockout stages of the Conference League, where the balance of play is likely to be more equal.
As a fresh element to the Palace fixture calendar, the Thursday games could act as a palate cleanser with victory, should the team find itself sandwiched between difficult league fixtures.
However, it is possible that losing the opening home fixture in that competition meant the loss to Arsenal only compounded the frustration that may otherwise not have been there.
This continues to be a season of discovery, one where Palace must raise their game to that of favourites in one competition, whilst continuing to play with an underdog spirit in the other. Luckily, there is still time for the team to adjust to that dual reality.

The 18-year-old, who can play as an attacking midfielder, centre forward or wide attacker, was set to join the Eagles' under-21 setup.
However, no agreement has been able to be reached between the clubs over compensation.
Sources told BBC Sport that a deal was close and that there was the possibility of a a sell-on clause to be included.

We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Arsenal and Crystal Palace.
Here are some of your comments:
Arsenal fans
Tino: Arsenal can be more clinical, particularly in the final third. Gyokeres can time his runs to score goals. When the dust settles, Arsenal will be scoring more goals in matches like these. In the second half, they appeared to be made of the right timber.
Gerry: Tough game from a good Palace team. Arsenal are missing some midfield creativity in the past couple of games, but it was a good, resilient performance in defence!
Robin: Efficient, if unspectacular - except for one piece of brilliance from Eze. This is what we needed today against a well-organised Palace defence. It could have been more, but you can't expect to win every game 4-0.
Alexi: Such a crucial win! Eze looked electric and smooth on the ball. These are the games that we would normally lose, but now with the squad that we have, we look unbeatable.
Crystal Palace fans
Pedro: Disappointing, but not surprising. This group of players have performed brilliantly, achieving more than any others. Going on "full gas" has left them tired and ragged. A temporary blip. We'll bounce back.
Al: Another game with only one shot on target. The bounce has gone out of the last two performances, and late substitutions did not help. The team is looking tired. Rotation needed - Nketiah for Mateta and Esse or Uche for Pino.
Steve: Arsenal were there for the taking but once again Palace were not clinical in the box. Sarr and Pino were distinctly average. Mateta ran and ran, but failed to hold the ball up. Wharton and Kamada spent a lot of time chasing shadows, and need to contribute with goals.

Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace are taking part in European competition for the first time this season and this result will add to the concern about how the squad will deal with the extra midweek games.
Arsenal are a challenge for anyone and the Palace players visibly tired as the match reached the latter stages.
Oliver Glasner will have to think how best to rotate his players while the fixture schedule for his team is so congested.
Palace are now without a win in four games in all competitions but it has still been a solid start for them in the Premier League this season, with 13 points from nine games.
Crystal Palace boss spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side's defeat away at Arsenal: "Of course there is disappointment about the result. But on the other side I'm pleased with most parts of the performance, especially in the first half. There are many parts of the game I really liked. In one situation we gave them too much. It was a silly foul because [Bukayo] Saka was running away from the goal.
"They [Arsenal] are very good defensively. When you play a team that wants to win the Premier League and Champions League you have to be at the top level.
"I told the players before we arrived 18 or 19 months ago that we lost 5-0 here. I love our ambition. We won the FA Cup and we play European football. The performance was good but we want to improve."
On Palace's hectic schedule after playing in Europe: "No, nothing to do with fatigue. The players are working so hard. Now we support them and encourage them. We accept it [the result] and we will work on our structure."
Palace defender Chris Richards spoke to Sky Sports: "It was a close game in all aspects. Arsenal are a really good team and deserved the win. I think everybody knows how Arsenal are defensively and we needed to take our chances.
"Set-pieces are probably their forte right now. But we went toe-to-toe with the best team in the league.
"We are still positive. We take today on the chin and we keep trying to improve."

Crystal Palace have given Arsenal some trouble in the past but how can anyone back against Mikel Arteta's side at the moment? They are like a juggernaut, and not just because of their strength at set-pieces.
Viktor Gyokeres got a couple of goals for the Gunners in the Champions League in midweek and I can see why Arteta raves about him.
People may view Gyokeres as something of a flat-track bully but he is going to score some important goals for Arsenal, and he gives them something they previously lacked up front.
If there is a side that can upset them at the moment, then it's Crystal Palace - I saw them absolutely tear Liverpool to shreds at Selhurst Park a few weeks ago.
They did not lie down against Bournemouth last week either, but going to Emirates Stadium and hurting Arsenal still feels like a big ask.
It doesn't help that Palace played in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, because their squad is not big enough for European football.
Arsenal's squad is, and that is something else that will make a difference here.
It is the Gunners' defence that impresses me the most at the moment, though.
I am only half-joking when I say I am not going to back anyone to score against them in the league for the rest of the season, because it is their ability to keep clean sheets that will help them win the title.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0
Matthew Hobbs
BBC Sport journalist
Premier League leaders Arsenal began the latest round of fixtures three points clear at the top of the table and on Sunday they host a Crystal Palace side aiming for a first league win at Emirates Stadium in six years.
This is the ninth time that the Gunners have amassed as many as 19 points after eight matches of a Premier League campaign but they have gone onto to win the title in just one of the previous eight seasons - doing so in their Invincibles campaign of 2003-04.
While Mikel Arteta's scored four goals in the Champions League thrashing of Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, it was also their fourth successive clean sheet in all competitions - and defence could be key to their chances of winning the title this season.
Arsenal have conceded just three goals in 12 matches overall in 2025-26 - the fewest across all competitions of any side in Europe's big five leagues.
They have prevented the opposition from registering a shot on target in back-to-back league games for the first time in 22 years.
The only side to go three games in a row without facing a shot on target is Manchester City 11 years ago.
Such has been the dominance of Arsenal's defence domestically, they are restricting the opposition to very few opportunities, let alone conceding goals.
In addition to keeping the joint-most clean sheets, the Gunners have given up the fewest big chances (as defined by Opta), faced the fewest shots on target and have the lowest expected goals tally against.
Arsenal next face Palace with an excellent recent record in London derbies.
They have lost just one of their past 19 Premier League meetings against fellow London sides, defeating Fulham last time out in the league at Craven Cottage.
Palace's most recent Premier League outing was one of the most entertaining games of the season so far, coming from behind twice to draw with Bournemouth at Selhurst Park, courtesy of a hat-trick by Jean-Philippe Mateta.
The Eagles have won just one of their past 14 visits to Arsenal but their attack, spearheaded by the in-form France international, has the capability to threaten the Gunners' backline - although Oliver Glasner's men may need to be more clinical if they are to earn any points.
Mateta has scored five league goals this season but he is still underperforming his xG tally more so than any other Premier League player (-2.75).
Collectively, Palace lead the Premier League for shots on target, xG and big chances this season - but they are also underperforming their xG by the biggest margin and have missed more big chances than any other side.
The Eagles did suffer a surprise loss at home in the Conference League on Thursday but, happily for the visitors, key man Mateta loves playing in the capital in the Premier League.
Eight of his past nine top-flight goals have been scored in London, while he has netted five in his past eight London derbies.
Karan Vinod
BBC Sport journalist
Image source, Getty ImagesSpeaking to the media before Sunday's game against Arsenal, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner discussed how his side's style of play has changed since Eberechi Eze left for the Gunners at the start of the season.
"Eze was definitely a player that could decide games on his own with one situation," said Glasner. "On the other side, we have the highest xG in the whole Premier League after selling Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze and bringing in Yeremy Pino and Ismaila Sarr, and this is credit to the players, team, and not just the individuals but the whole team.
"As Crystal Palace, having the highest xG in the whole league in front of Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool just shows how much effort this team shows every single game.
"Everybody who likes Crystal Palace would like to have Michael and Eberechi still in the squad, but it shows that we can always create enough chances to score goals. I'm looking forward to meeting him, but no friendship during the game."
The Austrian coach also spoke about the recent dip in form from the Eagles, who have lost twice in their past three games following an unbeaten start to the season before then.
"The start was excellent, but it was clear that it wasn't like this for the whole season because then we'd win all four competitions," said Glasner.
"But again, I have no concerns at all, the performances are OK, we can't always expect to perform at the top and then sometimes all you need is to be clinical, score a goal from set play and win.
"We are not that far at the moment, but we will try to get there; that we take more wins from the effort that the players show and with the chances we create."
Glasner reported no new injury concerns from Thursday's Conference League defeat by AEK Larnaca.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Thursday's Conference League game between Crystal Palace and AEK Larnaca.
Here are some of your comments:
Mike: Highlights our inconsistency up front and the weakness of some players on the bench. This defeat is a wake up call, we just don't have the depth for playing on Thursday and a Sunday.
Sam: All a bit too predictable in the first half and then we made things much harder for ourselves by presenting them with a solid chance which they took well. They came well organised and frustrated us, but we made enough chances to win. We need players other than Jean-Philippe Mateta to chip in with goals to take the pressure off him. Great support from the AEK fans, it was nice to see them enjoy a big night!
Pedro: A lacklustre display by a team running on empty. Without a deep squad, coupled with Oliver Glasner's reluctance to rotate or promote some youngsters, we are hitting the buffers. A reboot is needed ASAP!
Peter: It was one of those nights where we could have played forever and never had scored. Subs were a little too late by Glasner for me, personally.
Martin: A little bit of a disaster. Shame to see some of the plastic fans booing. It was an off night, no more than that. We've been immense, playing beyond our stature, winning trophies and having the time of our lives. Even if we go on to lose a few games now, it won't be the end of the world - us Palace fans have been through a lot worse. Roll on Sunday and the chance for us to upset the odds at the Emirates!
Thomas: Really poor performance. All of our attacks were easy to defend and we never looked like scoring. Let's hope we can step it up again and not fall off a cliff.
Don: Frustrating night. Palace are never at their best trying to break down a side set up to defend. It should have had a draw though, AEKs only chances came from Jaydee Canvot mistakes, three of them, the last one fatal. Disastrous debut.
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to TNT Sports after the defeat to AEK Larnaca in the Conference League: "That is European football. You have to learn from it. Small mistakes get punished and on the other side we had enough chances to win the game.
"It is not just the story of this game, but many games. The effort was here, we were creating situations against a deep block. We had four or five big opportunities to score and we didn't and we make one mistake and you can lose a game like this.
"It is disappointing, it is frustrating and it hurts, but on the other side we keep going. We have enough games.
"We had enough clear chances and then you lose sometimes. We have to learn from it."
Palace captain Marc Guehi also spoke to TNT Sports: "They scored and we didn't. It's that simple, that's it.
"Every team comes with a different type of game plan. It was a team that sat back. They did well and they frustrated us. Even though they did that we still could have scored.
"It is a new experience for the club and hopefully we have more so that we can grow from in these competitions.
"When it's 0-0 and you feel you should be winning it is understandable to feel frustration, not only fans, but us on the pitch. Everyone had the same feeling.
"It is a good opportunity to learn and understand that these European games are tough no matter who you play against."
