The opening trophy of the English football season is on the line as Premier League title holders Arsenal face FA Cup winners Manchester City in the Community Shield this Sunday.
The two powerhouses met in the 2023 edition of this high-profile preseason fixture, with Arsenal claiming victory via a penalty shootout. They enter as favorites to lift an 18th Community Shield at the Principality Stadium, particularly given that City have only triumphed in seven of their 16 appearances in the competition.
Nevertheless, City have come out on top in the last two encounters between the sides, including the previous season's Carabao Cup final, and new manager Enzo Maresca will be eager to extend that run against another former Pep Guardiola protégé.
Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal squad have had a busier preseason schedule than their upcoming rivals, which may give them a marginal advantage. That said, two of their five warm-up matches ended in losses, whereas City recorded two wins and a draw across three games.
Here's how to catch this compelling clash taking place in Cardiff, Wales.
