Story summary

Arsenal and Manchester City are set to face off in the Community Shield, a preseason match that takes place between the two teams who will be competing for the Premier League title this season. The match is being held on Sunday at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in Wales. While winning the Community Shield has historically been no guarantee of success, with only eight of 34 winners going on to win the league since 1992-93, the teams who lose the shield have actually had more success, with 10 titles won by those teams over the same period. This season's match marks a new era for Manchester City, as their new manager Enzo Maresca takes charge of his first competitive game after Pep Guardiola's departure. The match is also significant for Arsenal, who are looking to build on their status as English Premier League champions, while Manchester City will be seeking revenge after losing the FA Cup to them last season.
