    <peacedove>Another season is here, Liverpool facing Crystal Palace on Sunday. The first time Liverpool will face Palace in the community shield,
    Chris Kavanagh to referee the Community Shield between Liverpool and Crystal Palace
    Kavanagh will be assisted by experienced duo James Mainwaring and Wade Smith – who have run the line on 18 and 14 different occasions involving Palace respectively – with Tony Harrington, who has officiated in the top-flight since December 2021, serving as the fourth official.
    As with the Premier League, VAR will be in use for the game.

    It'll be interesting to see how we line up.

    Injuries?

    Bradley out. That's him done then.
    Gomez out. Nothing new there.
    Alisson? Wife had an operation. That's all we know. Should be back.
    Vvd. Sick. Not likely back according to slot.


    We may dress rehearse the first game with gravenberch out or we may just rotate macallister and szoboszlai for their fitness (a half each or whatever)

    Marmadashvilli
    Frimpong konate endo kerkez
    Gravenberch macallister
    Salah wirtz gakpo
    Ekitike

    Bench
    Keeper???
    Robertson
    Tsimikas
    Jones
    Szoboszlai
    Elliott
    Nunez
    Ngumoha
    Chiesa

    Those to be loaned or sold may influence the bench calls.

    Doak
    Stephenson
    Nunez
    Chiesa
    Elliott

    All still in the shop window.

    Not sure why you think vvd won’t be back. Only thing I’ve read from Slot is that vvd should be fine.

    I read he was saying normally not so we will see. Its illness so it depends what it is I guess.

    So you’ve taken ‘not normally miss out’ and interpreted that as most likely won’t be fit? Not sure how you’ve done that as it’s the total opposite of what Slot said.

    Not sure. Tbh. I thought the question was about them being available and slot said normally not.

    I cant remember where I read it. If he is ok for Sunday that will help.

    Slot was also asked if any of that quartet are at risk of being sidelined for the FA Community Shield versus Crystal Palace or the Premier League opener at home to AFC Bournemouth.
    “Virgil normally not,” the head coach replied. “Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley, it’s going to be tight. Alisson will be back in time as well.”
