New Liverpool signings Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong all start against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield. Liverpool are boosted by the fitness of Virgil van Dijk, who is available again following illness and captains the Reds at Wembley.

Premier League champions Liverpool meet FA Cup winners Crystal Palace today in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium. Palace return to happy hunting ground at Wembley after picking up their first ever major trophy in May with further silverware in their sights.

Recent years have seen the Community Shield broadcast live in the UK on free-to-air broadcaster ITV. That's no longer the case, with the season curtain raiser now set to be shown live by pay-TV network TNT as part of its recent deal with the FA.
