Arne Slot reveals touching way Liverpool will keep Diogo Jota's memory alive
Liverpool will play Crystal Palace in the Community Shield, a final warm-up for their Premier League title defence, with manager Arne Slot anticipating a "good challenge."
Slot highlighted Crystal Palace as difficult opponents, recalling their 1-1 draw last season and their strong cup performances against top teams.
Liverpool has invested heavily in new talent, spending close to £300 million on players like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Giorgi Mamardashvili to bolster their squad.
Crystal Palace, under Oliver Glasner, concluded last season strongly, winning the FA Cup and achieving a club record for Premier League points.
The match will include tributes to former Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who recently passed away, and Alexis Mac Allister is a potential starter after recovering from injury.
