As they are without a weekend fixture, Cardiff will be in need of a win when the south Londoners arrive at Ninian Park.
Palace have had to endure an even worse start to the season than the Bluebirds and a home win will be a must if only to ease some of the pressure on City manager Dave Jones.
Ledley was full of praise for England star Gerrard, but was also pleased with his own side's contribution to the Carling Cup encounter.
And the Welsh international - who claimed a No 8 Gerrard shirt even though the midfielder swapped with his former Liverpool team-mate Robbie Fowler at full-time on Wednesday - hopes it will provide the boost needed to overcome Palace next time out.
"It is great to get Gerrard's shirt. He is my favourite player. No I'm not putting it on ebay, I'm going to be keeping it," said 20-year-old Ledley.

CARDIFF CITY midfielder Stephen McPhail has challenged his team-mates to use their performance against Liverpool as the launchpad for a drastic improvement in their Championship campaign.
The Republic of Ireland international said City must not lapse back into their old form which has produced just one league win at home all season, leaving Cardiff just three points off the relegation places.
Following a weekend without a match, Cardiff welcome Crystal Palace to Ninian Park on Tuesday night in a game that should put the Bluebirds' woes into some sort of perspective.
New Palace boss Neil Warnock's side currently occupy the last relegation spot in the league having endured a worse start than Cardiff.
Now McPhail is calling for his colleagues to draw their inspiration from that very creditable showing at Anfield.
"We have to step it up as players and do well on Tuesday," said McPhail.
