Liverpool Takes on Crystal Palace in Community Shield…
Liverpool has wrapped up its summer friendlies and now heads into the Community Shield, where Arne Slot’s grand strategy for the new Premier League season will get its first test. “Usually, you need to run a marathon to get a medal,” Slot quipped, “but hey, why not try for the medal during the sprints too?” he added with a grin. Facing a tenacious Crystal Palace, who stretched Liverpool to a 1-1 draw in their last encounter, the task won’t be a walk in the park—or should we say, a jog at Anfield?
For UK viewers, tune into TNT Sports, or use the TNT Sports app if you’re on the move. In the US, fans can catch it on ESPN or stream it online. The game kicks off at 3 pm in the UK (10 am ET). While Palace has been keeping a low profile on the transfer market, it seems they’ve been guarding secret treasures like Eberechi Eze with a release clause that could make Arsenal as giddy as a kid in a candy store. Meanwhile, Liverpool has a couple of defenders sidelined, but fresh faces like Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike are ready to shine. With both teams sharpened more than a sushi chef’s knife, this game might just be the perfect appetizer of the season!
