Welcome to our live coverage of Liverpool vs Crystal Palace in the Community Shield at Wembley (3pm kick-off).

The annual curtain raiser sees the Premier League champions take on the FA Cup winners.

The Reds romped to the title last season and, with less than a week to go until the new campaign kicks-off, they will be hoping to add more silverware to the club's bulging trophy cabinet today.

But they will have to be a wary of a Palace side who stunned Manchester City on their last visit to Wembley in May to claim the FA Cup.

That was the first major trophy in the South London club's history.

But all is not well at Selhurst Park with manager Oliver Glasner frustrated by the club's lack of activity in the transfer market for the second summer running.

And it could get worse for Glasner with captain Marc Guehi a target for clubs before the close of the transfer window on September 1.

One of those clubs is Liverpool, who have already committed to nearly £300m in transfer fees in a huge summer of ins and outs at Anfield.

Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili could all make their official debuts this afternoon.

It will be an afternoon tinged with sadness, though, with tributes set to take place for late Reds striker Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash alongside his brother Andre Silva in July.
