Community Shield fixture between Man City and Liverpool confirmed

  /  Cai

Liverpool's Community Shield meeting with Manchester City will be played at Wembley on Sunday, August 4 at 3pm BST (16:00 CET).

The Community Shield traditionally pits the Premier League winners against the FA Cup winners.

However, with the Reds missing out on booking their place as league champions, City's victory in both competitions sees Jurgen Klopp 's side instead provide the opposition as league runners-up and gives them the opportunity to gain an early upper-hand against their title-rivals.

Liverpool have lifted the trophy on 15 previous occasions, five shared, with their most recent victory coming in 2006 as goals from John Arne Riise and Peter Crouch clinched a 2-1 victory over Chelsea.

Meanwhile, City are the reigning holders after beating Chelsea 2-0 in last year's final.
