LIVERPOOL and Crystal Palace look to kickstart their 2025/26 campaign with silverware as they face off at Wembley for the Community Shield.
Arne Slot reclaimed the Reds’ place at the top of English football in his debut season after taking over from club legend Jurgen Klopp last May.
And it was a historic triumph for Liverpool as they equalled Manchester United’s record of 20 top-flight titles.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace earned their shot at another trophy under the arch after beating Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final.
Dean Henderson made a crucial penalty save in the Eagles’ historic win, and they will need more of the same to keep out Liverpool’s new mega-money stars, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz.
