Crystal Palace vs Liverpool match review, 9:00 p.m. August 10: Liverpool blockbuster tests fire at Wembley

VHO - Commenting on the match Crystal Palace vs Liverpool, English Super Cup, Arne Slot and his team promise not to let any surprises happen in the match that has the meaning of opening the new season.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool form

Last season saw an unforgettable milestone for Crystal Palace. The 1-0 victory in the FA Cup final against Man City officially brought the first major title to the Selhurst Park team in the 119 years of existence and development of the club.

Thanks to that, The Eagles were able to participate in the Community Shield for the first time. To prepare for the historic match, the team under the direction of coach Oliver Glasner gathered quite early and actively participated in friendly matches.

Since the beginning of July, Crystal Palace has faced 7 "blue teams", winning 3, drawing 2 and losing 2. Of which, in the last 4 appearances against 2 representatives playing in Bundesliga, Mainz 05 and Augsburg, Palace only won 1, drew 1 and lost 2.

The results of the London team are generally not too impressive, even a bit weaker than expected. This is considered a consequence of the club's tight transfer policy.

With the 2025/26 Premier League season just one week away, Palace's personnel situation remains almost unchanged.

In addition to spending 3 million pounds to buy left-back Borna Sosa, the Selhurst Park team also only welcomed reserve goalkeeper Walter Benitez on a free transfer. Along with Fulham, Palace is one of the two most frugal teams in the summer transfer market of 2025, considering the 20 teams participating in the Premier League.

Will blockbuster Florian Wirtz and Liverpool's expensive new recruits shine at Wembley?

Compared to Liverpool, Palace's transfer spending is even more lame. Up to now, The Kop has spent up to 265 million pounds to bring in many quality new players. That number promises not to stop when the Reds plan to detonate another "blockbuster" Alexander Isak.

With an already strong squad, Liverpool are sure to become even more formidable. That was clearly demonstrated by their two recent consecutive victories against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield.

New recruits like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong all integrated very quickly and left strong impressions.

The difference between the two sides is too obvious. Even the historical factor is in favor of the Premier League champions. In the last 10 clashes between the two sides, the port city giants have won 6, drawn 3 and lost only 1.

But Liverpool cannot afford to be complacent. Palace have a very difficult defensive counter-attacking style of play, especially when facing strong opponents. The FA Cup final is a clear example. However, the chances of Glasner and his team creating a surprise are still quite low.
