Treble winners Manchester City tackle last season's Premier League runners-up Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday. Get the latest team news, kick-off times and more here!
Early season bragging rights up for grabs
After spending a whopping 248 days at the top of the Premier League standings last season, Arsenal ultimately succumbed to a seemingly inevitable Man City outfit to finish second. In a bid to go one step further in 2023/24, Mikel Arteta has reinforced his squad with a number of shrewd acquisitions, including Kai Havertz and club record signing Declan Rice.
The Citizens will again be aiming to win everything available this season after walking away with an historic treble last time out. The first bit of silverware on offer comes here in the form of a trophy they haven’t lifted since defeating Liverpool four years ago. They’ve lost this fixture the last two years running but will be looking to end that barren spell this weekend.
The first trophy of the season is up for grabs this weekend 🍿
