The unofficial 2025–26 season curtain-raiser takes place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, with Liverpool taking on Crystal Palace in the Community Shield.

Crystal Palace pulled off another Wembley upset by beating Premier League champion Liverpool to lift the Community Shield on Sunday.

Credit to Sky Sports News for reporting that Crystal Palace value Marc Guehi at more than £40 million, with Liverpool emerging as strong contenders to secure the England international’s signature. Discussions between the Premier League champions and Palace have already taken place, but a notable gap remains in the valuation of the player.

Slot changed tack for the game’s final quarter, as Ekitiké was withdrawn in favour of midfielder Wataru Endō, but the Dutchman’s switch failed to supply the desired security. Five minutes later, Palace were level again. This time, Sarr was fed through a gaping void in Liverpool’s defence and finished off the post with Alisson bearing down on him.
