Community Shield Preview: Manchester City Face Arsenal in Clash for First Silverware of the Season
Claudio Bravo the Hero as City Defeat Liverpool in Penalty Shootout
Gunners Aim to End Winless Run Against Guardiola's Side
Manchester City will face Arsenal in the 2023 Community Shield at Wembley Stadium, kicking off the new English football season. The match will be a rematch of last season's FA Cup semi-final, which City won 3-2. Claudio Bravo was the hero saving from Georginio Wijnaldum to give City a 5-4 win after successful spot.
City have won the Community Shield a record 21 times, while Arsenal have won it 14 times. Last season, City defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the Community Shield, thanks to a goal from Raheem Sterling.
Arsenal will be looking to end their winless run against Pep Guardiola's side. The Gunners have not beaten City since 2017, and have lost the last five encounters. Mikel Arteta will be hoping to guide his team to a victory in his first competitive match as Arsenal manager.
