Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner has refused to play down the importance of the Community Shield this weekend, insisting that his team will do everything it can to do to Liverpool on Sunday what it did to Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

"As a champion against the 12th-placed team, and of course, how they acted again in the transfer market, how they strengthened their team, so Liverpool are the favorites.

"The best thing about playing in this atmosphere, even if you have 40,000 or 45,000 fans behind you, is that you're simply responsible for playing to win, and that's what we're going to do."
