• Competition: Community Shield
• Date & Time: 10th August 2025, 15:00
• Venue: Wembley Stadium, UK

Team Form and Recent Performance:

This will be the first game of the season for both teams in the traditional English season curtain raiser. There is little form to go on coming into the match apart from preseason friendlies, but both sides will be looking to lift the famous trophy in this match. Liverpool have won the shield 11 times in 16 appearances, while this is Palace’s first ever time in the final. Last season Liverpool won 1-0 and drew 1-1 with Palace in their two Premier League meetings.

Key Players, Injuries, and Suspensions:

• Crystal Palace: Last season’s top scorers were Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta and both will likely start if still at the club even though they are both under transfer speculation.
• Liverpool: We can expect Mohamed Salah to play if available and he will be the main threat. Milos Kerkez the new signing from Bournemouth will likely debut in the back row.

Tactical and Strategic Analysis:

Match Prediction:

We expect an exciting match with both teams fighting hard to lift the trophy. It’s a good clash of styles with several new signings looking to make an impact. This will be Liverpool’s first competitive game after Diego Jota’s death and they will want to deliver a victory for him and the fans.
