Crystal Palace vs Liverpool – Predicted lineup and team news

Crystal Palace compete in the Community Shield for the first time when the Eagles take on Liverpool this afternoon.

Oliver Glasner’s side compete for the first silverware of the season, as the FA Cup winners take on the Premier League champions at Wembley. It’s a first-ever appearance in the fixture for Palace, who won their maiden major trophy with last season’s cup success.

Back at Wembley, the South Londoners will be aiming for another upset against a Liverpool side fresh from substantial investment. Arne Slot has invested more than £250m to improve his title-winning squad, including the British record capture of Florian Wirtz.

Palace have had a quiet summer transfer window so far, with Borna Sosa and Walter Benitez the only new arrivals. That duo cost a combined £3m, a fraction of their opponent’s huge spend.

In terms of injuries, Palace remain without Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure who are recovering from long-term issues. There’s better news on Marc Guehi and Adam Wharton, who have each returned from injuries to feature during the pre-season campaign.
