At Liverpool, the titular goalkeeper, Alisson, is uncertain, so between the goals, the Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili should appear, arrived on ANField after spending the previous season in Valencia in the form of a loan.
Palace performed two transfers this summer, the left defender terminal Sosa and goalkeeper Walter Benitez, but it is expected that none of them will be a holder today.
Summer -troubled but Palace comes confidently on Wembley
Palace addresses the match with confidence, given the historically recorded results on Wembley: 4 victories in 6 games. At the same time, the statistics of recent years, which says that 7 of the last 11 winners of the Super Cup are the teams that have won the England Cup.
It remains to be seen how much he will weigh in the performance of Oliver Glasner's students what happened this summer, with UEFA deciding that the “vultures” be relegated to Conference Leaguealthough winning the cup would have normally guaranteed participation in the next season of Europa League.
UEFA has decided this because one of Palace's shareholders, the American John Texator, with 43% of the participations, is a majority shareholder, with 77%, and another team qualified in the Europa League, Lyon.
Palace challenged the decision to the Sports Arbitration Court And he is waiting for the Lausanne judges to decide if they keep it in Conference League or bring back to the Europa League, an uncertainty with which Oliver Glasner certainly would not have wanted to do.
Palace ended the summer training with two friendly against the Germans in Augsburg. The basic “11-le” won by 3-1, the band composed of reserves lost to the limit, 0-1.
Also with two friendly against the same team, he ended the pre-Season and Liverpool, 4-1 and 3-2 with Athletic Club.
Does Liverpool defend the title?
It will be extremely interesting to see how this “New Liverpool” looks after this summer transfers: Frimpong, Kerkez, Wirtz and Ekitike, plus Mamardashvili, bought last summer, but only now on Anfield.
Liverpool has lost or given up some important names, such as Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez. Therefore, the “cormorants” spent a lot on transfers in this mercato, about 294 million euros, but also received colossal amounts, 196 million.
If he looks at what has happened in recent years, Liverpool will want to not win the Super Cup. This is because in the last 14 years it has happened once for the winner of the Super Cup to win the championship that season! He did it Manchester City in 2019.
The worst Leicester City happened in 2022: Winner of the Super Cup, the “foxes” ranked 8th in the Premier League.
