Liverpool and Crystal Palace will preview next season’s Community Shield on Sunday, as the Premier League champions host the FA Cup winners at Anfield.

The title has been wrapped up for some time now, confirmed with an emphatic 5-1 win over newly crowned Europa League champions Tottenham in April, and they will finally be presented the trophy on Sunday, kicking off the end-of-season celebrations in earnest.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will play his last match for the club, set to leave Liverpool when his contract expires at the end of the season.



They followed it up with a 4-2 comeback win over Wolves in midweek, and will close their campaign on Merseyside before holding a trophy parade in South London the next day.

Having now qualified for next season’s Europa League, their first taste in European football, Palace’s sole goal for the day will be to end the campaign on a high note, and what better way to do that than by beating the champions?

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace team news

The Eagles will leave Adam Wharton at home for their trip to Liverpool after he suffered a head injury in the FA Cup final.

Marc Guehi also sustained a head injury after catching a shot in the face from close range at Wembley, but Oliver Glasner said he could return in time for the match.

Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure will both miss out, too, having been sidelined for much of the season with long-term knee injuries.

Alexis Mac Allister is the only absentee for Liverpool.

Never gives up, no matter what he feels, but it is not smart to play a player that has not a big injury, but something to take a risk with.”

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace prediction

Since winning their respective titles, Liverpool and Palace have had very different fortunes.
