Manchester City will take on title rivals Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday as the curtain raiser to the 2023/24 season.
The Gunners will be out for revenge against Pep Guardiola’s treble winners as the two teams battle to win the first piece of silverware of the new campaign.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta came close to delivering a first Premier League title in 19 years last season with his side having led the table for most of the campaign.
But a calamitous set of results during the run-in gave City the edge they needed to claim a third successive league crown.
The Etihad outfit then went onto secure the FA Cup and Champions League in a historic treble meaning the second Community Shield spot passes down to the Premier League’s runners-up.
- Kick-off at Wembley will take place at 4pm following complaints from fans over travel on public transport.
- It is being shown on ITV One
