Liverpool faces Crystal Palace in their first competitive match of the new Premier League season, overshadowed by mourning the loss of Diogo Jota. Arne Slot aims to build on last season's success and kickstart the campaign with a potential trophy, highlighting the rarity of opportunities to win early in the season. Liverpool's recent history with Palace showcases their difficulty in securing victories against them. Meanwhile, Palace's appeal regarding UEFA sanctions add tension ahead of the match, but they remain focused on moving forward positively.
"Normally you have to play numerous games before you can win something. If it's the League Cup, FA Cup, let alone [the] Premier League or Champions League, normally you win something in the end of the season. Now we have a chance to win something in the beginning of the season."
"Unfortunately, we face a very good Crystal Palace that have been very difficult to win against for us, because we played 1-1 against them in the last game of the season. They showed in the last final - and even in the semi-final, by the way, how difficult it is to win a one-off game against them."
