Community Shield: TV details, Liverpool team news, referee, Diogo Jota tributes
This will be Liverpool's first competitive game since the tragic events of last month, when the siblings passed away in northern Spain, although the Reds have honored Jota throughout the summer and ahead of every preseason game.
Wreaths were laid on the pitch by Phil Thompson and Jon Uriarte, Athletic Bilbao's club president, ahead of Monday's double-headed friendly at Anfield. Similar tributes are planned for this weekend by the FA, which has confirmed that wreaths will be placed on the pitch before Sunday's game, while a period of silence will be held.

It comes a day after a delegation from Roma, including Claudio Ranieri and Paulo Dybala, paid tribute to Jota outside Anfield, and this week a third mural honoring the Portuguese was painted in Liverpool.
The Reds will also mark Jota's devastating death next week ahead of the Premier League clash against Bournemouth.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will wear its new Adidas away kit for the first time on Sunday. The FA's official media release describes the off-white shirt as "ecru." It will be worn along with black shorts.
The game will be broadcast by TNT Sports in the UK, and audiences in the United States can watch on ESPN.
The Community Shield will kick off at 3 pm local time; that's 10 am ET and 7 am PT.
Referee Chris Kavanagh will be in charge of proceedings in the capital, with VAR also in operation, as will goal-line technology, semi-automated offside technology.
Unusually, both teams will be able to make six substitutes, but name nine on the bench as is the case with Premier League games.
Should the game finish as a draw after 90 minutes, then it will go straight to penalties, bypassing extra-time.
Sunday is Liverpool's first Community Shield since it beat Manchester City at the King Power Stadium in 2022 and the 25th time playing in the annual curtain-raiser.
Palace, in contrast, has never played in a Community Shield before.
Should the Eagles win on Sunday, Oliver Glasner would become the first Austrian to win the competition, while Arne Slot would be the first Dutch coach to lift the trophy if Liverpool triumphs.
The Reds will be without Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley for the encounter, while Eddie Nketiah, Cheick Doucoure, Caleb Kporha, and Matheus Franca are missing for Palace.

How to watch Crystal Palace vs Liverpool: TV channel and live stream for Community Shield today
Premier League champions Liverpool and FA Cup winners Crystal Palace face off this afternoon at Wembley in the traditional season curtain-raiser. The Reds were crowned the best team in England at a canter last season, and have embarked on remarkable spending spree since with almost £300million spent on Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike. All four are expected to start at Wembley today, as they take on an Eagles team who won the first major trophy of their long history at the same stadium in May. Manchester City were beaten that day, can they claim another huge scalp? It has been a far less successful summer for Palace, who will find out on Monday if they have been reinstated into the Europa League after being demoted to the Conference League due to UEFA's rules on multi-club ownership. Before then, though, it will be a celebration for both teams' recent successes as they look to get their hands on another piece of silverare before the new campaign begins. Where to watch Community Shield today TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports 1, with coverage starting at 2pm BST ahead of the 3pm kick-off. Live stream: TNT Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website.

Rangers 1-1 Dundee: What Pressley said
Dundee manager Steven Pressley told BBC Scotland: "I asked all the players today to show courage and belief to get a result here, and they showed that in abundance. "I said to them in the dressing room I could cry for them today because they left every last ounce out there on the pitch. "I'm hugely proud of the preface but it's still only one point and you can get relegated on one point. "We were a big threat on set plays today, we caused them problems, there were a number of really positive aspects about the game. "Today I saw further improvements and we'll work again tirelessly before the Kilmarnock game. "I couldn't be prouder of those group of players today. The most important thing for me is to see progression and I certainly saw that."

Everton player ratings as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and one more impress at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Everton played their inaugural first team fixture in front of fans at Hill Dickinson Stadium but Roma's Matias Soule spoiled the party on the Mersey waterfront by netting the only goal of the game. The Blues lost left-back Vitalii Mykolenko to injury early on with summer recruit Adam Aznou coming on after 10 minutes to replace him but the teenager struggled and was caught out of position for what was the only goal of the contest, midway through the second half. Before that, Thierno Barry and Iliman Ndiaye had both had inviting chances to fire David Moyes' men in front, but both produced disappointing finishes. Jordan Pickford 7 The England number one had to be at his best at key moments, including keeping out a shot from Neil El Aynaoui following a defensive scramble after Ndiaye's defensive lapse, although he couldn't get to Matias Soule's well-placed finish. READ MORE: Everton vs Roma LIVE - Legends game, Soule goal, highlights, Hill Dickinson Stadium reaction READ MORE: Everton suffer early injury scare in Hill Dickinson Stadium friendly Jake O'Brien 6 Playing in the right-back role, he had several decent forays forward and continues to look a handful in a coltish way, pushing up from wide. Vitalii Mykolenko Nightmare start for the left-back at Hill Dickinson Stadium as he was forced off injured after just 10 minutes, having pulled up making a challenge to concede a corner kick. James Tarkowski 6 Captaining Everton on an historic day, he had to make some vital interceptions and looked solid on his first start on English soil since his hamstring injury against Manchester City in April but should have done better directing an early headed chance from a corner. Jarrad Branthwaite 6 Was left isolated for Roma's goal but a generally assured display on his return having stayed back in England to work on his fitness while the rest of the squad went to the USA. Idrissa Gueye 6 Solid showing ahead of a fourth season back at Everton, the veteran showed why he was worth a new deal, bossing the engine room. James Garner 6 Continuing in his deeper role, he kept plugging away but it would be nice to see a bit more of his silk as well as steel. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 7 Only signed three days before this game, the debutant was Everton's standout performer of the first half, looking a threat going forward himself and feeding others with his quick feet. Charly Alcaraz 5 Deployed on the Blues' 'problem position' of the right wing – given they have no natural options there – he tested Mile Svilar with a headed chance after the hosts had fallen behind, but while there were some nice touches, he was often on the fringe of proceedings. Iliman Ndiaye 5 Went close to an equaliser with a stinging shot palmed away by Svilar, the hope is that he can excel on this big, open pitch, but at the other end he almost gifted Roma an opener with a wild back pass that played Pickford into trouble. Thierno Barry 5 Making his first start since his £27million transfer from Villarreal, he got himself into some decent positions and worked hard but was guilty of fluffing his lines when a big chance came his way, scuffing his shot as the goal gaped. Substitutes Adam Aznou (on 10 for Mykolenko) 4 Tough debut for the young left-back as he was forced on early to replace the injured Mykolenko and was out of position for Roma's goal before making way for Coleman late on. Beto (on 61 for Barry) 6 Put himself about in the final half an hour but couldn't work any openings. Dwight McNeil (on 61 for Dewsbury-Hall) 5 Must know that he's now got a fight on his hands for a starting jersey, and while there were a few silky touches, he needs to show his manager he's worth a recall. Tim Iroegbunam (on 61 for Gueye) 6 A half-hour run-out in a deeper role as he remains on the fringes of the squad. Michael Keane (on 79 for Branthwaite) Late cameo at centre-back. Seamus Coleman (on 79 for Aznou) Ditto, at left-back, where he made his Everton debut almost 16 years ago. Youssef Chermiti (on 79 for Alcaraz) Same again, but in a left-sided attacking role.
