Liverpool vs Man City

Just a few hours away and Liverpool and Manchester City will play the curtain-raiser to the English Premier League when they meet for the first piece of...

The last venue to host the curtain-raiser other than Wembley was Villa Park back in 2012, where Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-2 for the shield. What more could you ask for on the return to English top-flight football? This will be the first time the Community Shield will be held at the King Power Stadium in the history of the event.

Haaland is out to boos from the travelling Reds, with a special ovation reserved for Mo Salah as he appeared on the big screens, having now signed a new contract. 32nd min: Nunez is greeted by the Liverpool fans for the first time as he warms up in front of them, with a noise only beaten by the goal celebration so far. 15 mins to KO: Reflecting on the backend of 2021/22, which saw him win the Premier League Golden Boot for a third time in five years but miss out on the quadruple, Salah said in the programme: "I always go into every season wanting to win the Golden Boot and it's one of my favourite awards. It took a slight glance off Ake on the way in, but looked to be heading on target regardless. The Uruguayan stoops low to head in and seal the game. 41st min: Klopp is furious on the touchline as the referee fails to blow up for an Alexander-Arnold injury. He latches onto an error and plays it first time to Henderson, who in return tees up the former Benfica man on the run. Liverpool may only get him for half of the games due to his appalling injury record, but those games will be full of mesmerising control of the ball. A header from Nunez struck the hand of Ruben Dias, with VAR again called to action to award the spot-kick. Klopp has now won every trophy available to him as Liverpool boss, lifting the Community Shield at the third time of asking, following penalty shoot-out losses to Arsenal and City previously. In a shortened preseason, it was extremely predictable that this game would be characterised by players slightly off the pace, and yet Thiago looked in midseason form. In a first half understandably full of misplaced passes, poor touches and minor blips of concentration, the Reds struck through Trent Alexander-Arnold. He gave Liverpool a deserved lead with his effort curling outwards onto the back post and in.

The eyes of England may be on Wembley Stadium once more this weekend but it will be for the Lionesses clash with Germany in the Euro 2022 final. The Premier ...

Both could go into the game bearing new strikers at the tip of their attack with Darwin Núñez and Erling Haaland both having been afforded minutes in preseason. The 2022-23 English football season gets started on Saturday in its traditional fashion when Liverpool and Manchester City square off for the Community Shield. However, they will do so in unfamiliar surroundings. The Premier League's two biggest teams will have to settle for a place on the metaphorical undercard away at King Power Stadium.

Liverpool vs Manchester City takes center stage in the FA Community Shield as the traditional curtain raiser will be intriguing viewing.

Expect Nathan Ake to start for City. Guardiola will have Phil Foden, John Stones and Ilkay Gundogan available after they missed the U.S. tour due to not meeting the entry requirements. Klopp has confirmed that Alisson is back in training after missing most of preseason with an abdominal injury and he will likely start against Fulham on Aug. 6 in their opening Premier League game. Even though Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola won’t put too much significance on winning this trophy (and nowhere near as much as Jose Mourinho did), they’ll want to continue their preseason preparations in a positive manner. Alisson will not play in this game so Adrian will play with Caoimhin Kelleher out injured. Goalkeeper Alisson has been struggling with an injury during preseason and Klopp has not been taking any risks with his star players. With Darwin Nunez the main man up top ( he scored four in their rout of RB Leipzig) there is plenty of pressure on him to replace Sadio Mane, while Mohamed Salah’s new contract calmed things down over the summer as the Reds look primed for another trophy push.

Liverpool vs Man City: The Premier League title favorites kicked off the new season, with Liverpool topping Manchester City 3-1 in the Community Shield.

His painful miss in the 97th minute will only ramp up criticism of his (unofficial) debut. — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC)July 30, 2022 1 for Haaland. The big Norwegian will have to adjust quickly, just as Guardiola will (likely) have to give a bit from his end as well. 13 minutes later, Mohamed Salah stepped to the penalty spot after Ruben Dias was charged (upon video review) with a handball offense inside his own penalty area. With all eyes on Erling Haaland for 90 minutes, it was Man City’s other summer arrival at striker, Julian Alvarez, who scored his first (semi-)competitive goal for the club in the 70th minute. A brilliant rivalry gets better.

"He won the penalty, scored a goal and looked very lively. Alvarez's goal was initially ruled out as his original run in behind was deemed offside, but a lengthy VAR check ended with Craig Pawson overturning the decision. His first-time strike took a slight deflection off the head of Nathan Ake and nestled in off the post.
