The entire English football faithfuls are gearing up for the traditional curtain-raiser to the Premier League season as the Community Shield takes the centre stage this Sunday, August 10th by 3 pm.
The annual fixture, contested between the winners of the previous season’s Premier League and FA Cup, not only offers the first piece of silverware for the new football season, but also gives supporters an early glimpse of their teams’ readiness ahead of the anticipated kick off of the brand new season.
This means that it is going to be a battle between Arne Slot’s Liverpool; last season’s Premier League winners, and Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace that produced a stunning performance against a relatively underperforming Manchester City to win the FA Cup last season.
