Starting lineup
Pre-match information
Liverpool are the reigning Premier League champions and are aiming to add another domestic title. The Merseyside side have spent a strong summer shopping with a total spending of nearly £300 million, bringing in many notable faces such as Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.
This is the first official match to prove the strength of coach Jürgen Klopp and his team after a significant change of force.
Crystal Palace entered the match as FA Cup champions but faced many changes. After losing a place in the Europa League and only being able to participate in the Europa Conference League, the London team suffered a significant financial loss.
Although there has been no parting ways with any key players, the risk of personnel disruption still exists before the summer transfer window ends. Up to this point, they have only added 2 contracts: goalkeeper Walter Benitez and defender Borna Sosa.
The impressive victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final last season showed that Crystal Palace can completely create a surprise. Liverpool are still rated higher, but if they are subjective, the Anfield team could have difficulty in their journey to win the opening title of the season.
