As the third-most successful team in Community Shield history with 16 wins, Liverpool are unsurprisingly the 3/5 favourites to win at the full time whistle, and go joint-second with Arsenal on 17 wins.
However, FA Cup underdogs Crystal Palace ripped up the script when they beat Manchester City to qualify for the season’s curtain raiser on Saturday, with 17/4 odds on offer for them to cause another upset within 90 minutes.
Liverpool had a formidable 2024-25 Premier League campaign, emphasised by a Liverpool player topping the table for goals, assists, total passes and clean sheets.
Mohamed Salah was the man to top the league for goals and assists last season, which unsurprisingly sees him at 20/21 to score anytime, or 5/2 for an anytime assist. Combining Salah to Score Anytime and Salah to Assist can be found at 1/2 odds.
As a team, Liverpool also topped the club chart for ‘Goals Scored’ with 86 goals (14 more than second-place Manchester City).
This, along with Virgil van Dijk’s league-leading 14 clean sheets last year, see a price for Liverpool and ‘no’ in the Result/Both Teams to Score market at 7/4.

Eberechi Eze was the difference during the FA Cup Final when his 16th minute strike proved enough to produce an underdog win, and first FA Cup title, for Crystal Palace.
Although the talismanic attacker is at 4/6 to join Arsenal this summer, Palace fans will be eager to retain such a talent and hope he can be the man to score first again at 12/1 odds.
Fortunately for Crystal Palace, they can lean on Jean-Phillipe Mateta’s 14 Premier League goals to also threaten Liverpool.
The Frenchman has proved to be a handful, so odds of 13/5 for a goal anytime, or 17/2 for an assist anytime, wouldn’t be unrealistic possibilities.
If Palace are to replicate a 1-0 winning scoreline like their FA Cup triumph, that would return at 14/1 odds!

Last season’s league head-to-heads between the sides do outline a busy afternoon for Sunday’s officials. The two Premier League encounters produced a combined 39 fouls, with odds on both teams to receive 2+ cards at 12/5.
Based on the previous fixtures, and with the two ‘Player to be Booked’ markets benefiting from bet365’s Sub On Play On product; Jefferson Lerma and Ryan Gravenberch bookings, along with an under two goals prediction, would create a 33/1 Bet Builder.
