Arsenal vs Liverpool match preview

It seems like only weeks ago the Premier League season came to a close… well maybe that’s because it is only weeks ago. After a short break and an even shorter pre-season, the domestic curtain raiser is upon us. Liverpool go into their first Community Shield as league champions for the first time since 1990. FA Cup specialists Arsenal earned their place by securing a 13th trophy against Chelsea less than a month ago.

While the Community Shield is essentially a friendly, the first item of silverware of the season is up for grabs and both teams will be keen to add to their collection. The reigning Premier League champions Liverpool will be favourites and have had a slightly longer pre-season than Arsenal.

However, the Gunners emerged victorious the last time the two sides met, earning a surprise 2-1 victory over the newly-crowned champs. Arsenal have started to look the part under Mikel Arteta, but the acid test will come in the Spaniard’s first full season in charge.

We’re looking forward to an entertaining game at Wembley, with both sides making plenty of changes to account for the short pre-season schedule.
