Liverpool have just announced that they will warm-up for the upcoming 2022-23 English Premier League season with a friendly against Crystal Palace FC on 15 July 2022 at the Singapore Sports Hub. Liverpool also plan to hold an open training session the day before the match.
The two sides have a history of thrilling encounters, most notably in the penultimate game of the 2013-14 season, when Crystal Palace came back from three goals down to snatch a point late on, effectively ending Liverpool's title challenge in a year where they had looked set to win the league after a long barren spell. Recently though, Liverpool have had the upper hand, and have taken six points off The Eagles this season.
