How Crystal Palace Reached the FA Community Shield

Crystal Palace entered last season’s FA Cup in the third round. First, they knocked out Stockport County from the third division. Then, they eliminated Doncaster Rovers from the fourth division, and Millwall from the EFL.

The real challenge began in the quarterfinals, when the team only faced Premier League opponents. Fulham was the victim in the quarters, followed by Aston Villa in the semifinal. In the final, they defeated Manchester City to claim the trophy.

This is Crystal Palace’s first time in an English Super Cup. That’s because the FA Cup trophy was the first major title won by the century-old club. Before that, they had only won two second-division titles, one third-division title, and one Full Members’ Cup, a short tournament held from 1985 to 1992.

How Liverpool Reached the FA Community Shield

Liverpool won the Premier League title with some ease. The Reds tallied 84 points, ten more than runners-up Arsenal, with 25 wins and nine draws. They suffered just four defeats during the competition.

The team already has 16 English Super Cup titles. The first was won in 1964, with the most recent in 2022. The other occasions on which the Reds were crowned FA Community Shield champions were: 1965, 1966, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2001, and 2006.

Head-to-Head Record

Liverpool and Crystal Palace have met in various competitions, from the Premier League to the League Cup. In total, 65 matches have been played between the two teams, with a wide advantage for the Reds: Liverpool has 36 victories.

Crystal Palace has won only 15 times, just one more than the number of draws, 14. There is also a significant gap in the number of goals scored by each side. Liverpool has scored more than twice as many as their opponent, with 130 goals against Palace’s 61.

Who Will Win the 2025 FA Community Shield?

Although both teams won their respective trophies last season, there is indeed a favorite to take home the English Super Cup. Liverpool goes into the match with odds of 1.6 to win in regular time and 1.32 to lift the trophy.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, is the clear underdog. The team must overcome odds of 5.2 to win in 90 minutes (or even 3.95 for a draw) to reach 3.15 to bring home another major trophy.
