Check out how to watch Liverpool v Man City in the Community Shield this week, including TV details, team news, predictions and odds.
The wait is nearly over. As it has for many years, the Community Shield arrives to signal that the start of the new Premier League season is now a week away while in 2022/23, it also offers the two likely title contenders an early chance to size each other up.
With the EURO 2022 final taking centre stage at Wembley to close out the weekend, Premier League champions Manchester City and FA Cup winners Liverpool will meet at the King Power Stadium in Leicester on Saturday.
Neither manager will care much for the silverware itself and both may well use the game as a final pre-season test but it's also an early chance to land a first psychological blow.
For all the talk of busy summer windows at Arsenal and Tottenham and new eras at Chelsea and Man Utd, Liverpool and Man City remain England's best two sides and the two most likely to launch substantial title challenges.
The Community Shield should give both Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp a chance to take a closer look at how their main competition for the season ahead is shaping up.

Our prediction: Liverpool v Man City
Liverpool and Man City get an early chance to renew their rivalry in the Community Shield, and while neither club will care much about the silverware they won't want to give the other any sort of advantage or momentum before the season starts.
That said, players are usually wary of pushing themselves too hard with the start of the Premier League season just a week away, which may mean a more open game.
We know the attacking talent that both sides boast but this may just be first blood Man City and Haaland ahead of another compelling season.
Our prediction: Liverpool 1-3 Man City (18/1 at bet365)
