The [[2007–08 Liverpool F.C. season|2007–08 season]] saw Carragher reach his 500th appearance for Liverpool, for which he was made captain. On 18 May 2009, in the match against [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Bromwich Albion]], Carragher was involved in an on-field clash with fellow defender [[Álvaro Arbeloa]], and the two had to be separated by teammates [[Xabi Alonso]] and Daniel Agger. Manager Rafael Benítez refused to comment on the matter, while Carragher later explained, "We want to keep a clean sheet and we want [[Pepe Reina|Pepe]] to have a chance of the [[Premier League Golden Glove|Golden Glove]] for the fourth season running."<ref>Eaton, Paul (17 May 2009).

On 24 February 2011, Carragher made his 137th European appearance in a match against [[AC Sparta Prague|Sparta Prague]] at [[Anfield]], setting a new British record. On 17 April 2011, during a match against Arsenal at the [[Emirates Stadium]], both Carragher and [[Jon Flanagan]] tried to head away the same ball, resulting in their heads colliding and Carragher being knocked out. After six minutes of treatment, Carragher was stretchered off and replaced by [[Sotirios Kyrgiakos]]. Carragher recovered in time to make his 666th appearance for Liverpool days later, in a 5–2 victory against [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9475026.stm|title=Football – Fulham 2–5 Liverpool|date=9 May 2011| publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=9 May 2011}}</ref> This appearance put Carragher second in the list of Liverpool's all-time appearance makers, behind [[Ian Callaghan]] with 857 games. In 2012, Carragher won a third [[2012 Football League Cup Final|League Cup]] with Liverpool.

In the first game of the [[2012–13 Liverpool F.C. season|2012–13 season]], and the start of [[Brendan Rodgers]]' term as Liverpool manager, Carragher made his 700th appearance for Liverpool in a 1–0 victory in the [[2012–13 UEFA Europa League|Europa League]] third-round qualifying tie against [[FC Gomel]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/downing-gives-reds-edge |title=Liverpool F.C. 1 – 0 FC Gomel Match Report |date=2 August 2012 |work=[[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] |publisher=Liverpool F.C. |access-date=2 August 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120804180035/http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/downing-gives-reds-edge |archive-date= 4 August 2012 }}</ref> Carragher often captained the side during the Europa League, and after a period of time only making league appearances as a substitute, he began to again earn a string of starting places.
