Community Shield 2025 Betting Preview: Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

Palace stunned the football world back in May by beating Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final, their first ever triumph in the competition, and now have the chance to add the Community Shield to their honours list.
But standing in their way are a Liverpool side looking to move joint-second with Arsenal on 17 Community Shield wins and UK Betting Sites are giving odds on the game.
Liverpool are clear favourites with bet365, with their squad bolstered over the summer and a strong record in the fixture.
