Arne Slot's Liverpool may have lost the likes of Trent Alexander-Armstrong and Darwin Núñez during the summer, but major new signings Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitiké and Florian Wirtz suggest they'll once again be the team to be this term, and will be keen to claim their first piece of silverware of the the new campaign today.

Despite their historic Cup win in May, Palace faces the new season with major uncertainty surrounding the club. Manager Oliver Glasner has cast doubt over his future due to the Eagles' lack of summer transfer activity, while the club is waiting to hear the result of its appeal over the team's demotion from the Europa League to the Conference League. One positive note for Palace fans during the break has been the retention of star Eberechi Eze, despite reported interest from Arsenal.

If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the Community Shield action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.

VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.

However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.
