I have no doubts about Liverpool's chances of winning this match. Therefore, I've been favoring Liverpool from the start, without even thinking twice. Since last season, and even for the past few seasons, we've known the difference in strength between these two teams is quite clear.
The match is still in the first half, but as we can see, Liverpool have already scored two goals, leaving the score 1-2. However, Crystal Palace is also putting up a good fight. They even came close to threatening Liverpool's defense several times. But I'm not worried about Liverpool losing this match. I'm confident they'll score again in the second half.
Liverpool got a 2-1 lead at the end of the first half. We do not see either team playing too aggressively. Because no team would want any of their players to get injured before the start of the Premier League. So both teams are playing very carefully. Liverpool had 66% ball possession in the first half. And made only 6 shots.
The important thing is that Ekitike and Frimgpong scored both goals in today's match. Both are completely new to Liverpool's squad. In this match, Arne slot kept Skitike, Wirtz and Frimpong in his starting XI. And we saw very good performances from these three players in the first half.
Liverpool's new players have adapted to Arne slot's gameplay very quickly. It is hoped that Liverpool will be able to start the next season well
