Crystal Palace vs Liverpool at Wembley will make for a slightly surreal 2025 Community Shield. The annual curtain-raiser between the Premier League and FA Cup champions is traditionally a teaser for the season ahead, and while there's palpable excitement about the Reds' record signing Florian Wirtz, Sunday's game will primarily serve as an occasion for remembering the late Diogo Jota.

Eagles fans aren't exactly in celebratory mood either, despite winning the first major trophy in their history in May, thereby qualifying for the Europa League. UEFA decided that John Textor owning a stake in both Crystal Palace and Lyon breached their multi-club ownership rules and has demoted them to the Conference League.
The same rule has not been applied Man City and Girona, Man Utd and Nice, and the Red Bull clubs in the past. To make matters worse, under duress from UEFA Textor hastily sold his stake in Palace to Woody Johnson, under whom the New York Jets have become a permanent basketcase, the worst-run team in the NFL.
They have, however, managed to keep hold of Oliver Glasner, Marc Guehi, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ebere Eze and Adam Wharton, all of whom are in huge demand. With Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, there's no doubt that Liverpool are favorites, but this is a hugely significant game for Palace.
