The new football season will kick off in England with the annual FA Community Shield clash between Arsenal and Manchester City, on August 6, 2023. The yearly football game, held at the famed Wembley Stadium, involves the champions of the preceding Premier League season and the winners of the FA Cup. This year, however, as Manchester City bagged both titles in the previous season, they will be competing against Arsenal, who were the runners-up in the Premier League.
Coached by Pep Guardiola, Manchester City reigned supreme in the 2022-23 season, completing a historic treble after winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
Arsenal were their closest competitor but under the leadership of Mikel Arteta, they ended up as runners-up in the Premier League, trailing Manchester City by five points. Although they didn't clinch the top spot, Arsenal's illustrious history in the Community Shield is noteworthy, with the team having emerged victorious 16 times.
With both teams eager to establish a strong start for the forthcoming season, the match promises to be a riveting contest.
