Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace preview
Liverpool host Crystal Palace in a festive finale at Anfield where the newly-crowned Premier League champions look to sign off their remarkable season with a flourish.
The Reds have gone off the boil since securing the title, winless in three matches including a 3-2 defeat at Brighton where Arne Slot's experimental lineup couldn't hold onto their lead.
Meanwhile, Palace arrive in dreamland after claiming the first major trophy in their history with an FA Cup triumph, which they followed up with a swashbuckling 4-2 victory over Wolves on Tuesday.
Goals seem inevitable with eight of Liverpool's last 11 home league matches featuring over 3.5 goals, while the Eagles have scored in six straight games.
In-form Eberechi Eze could be crucial for the visitors after notching seven goals in his last six appearances, though he'll face a Liverpool side unbeaten in 16 home league matches.
This Community Shield rehearsal pits a Liverpool team wanting to put the icing on their championship cake against Oliver Glasner's high-flying Eagles, who are unbeaten in their last seven outings and haven't lost at Anfield in their previous two visits.
