Florian Wirtz, Liverpool: It didn't take long for Liverpool's current record signing to get up to speed with the Premier League, the former Bayer Leverkusen man darting elegantly around the Wembley field in what was an impressive display against Crystal Palace, one in which he laid on a goal for fellow new arrival Hugo Ekitike.

In Liverpool's first Premier League match since Diogo Jota's tragic death, late goals from Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah sealed victory in an opening match to remember.

The defending English Premier League champions look to start the new season on the right foot, as Liverpool gets set to play host to Bournemouth to kick off the 2025-26 campaign.
