FA Cup winners Liverpool will take on Premier League champions Manchester City in this year's Community Shield curtain raiser ahead of the new season.
These two sides fought for the league title right up until the last kick of last season and were a minute away from facing off in the UEFA Champions League final too.
This will be just their second ever meeting in a Community Shield, with Man City triumphing in 2019 on penalties following a 1-1 draw at Wembley.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of this one.

Liverpool vs Man City prediction
Once again, these two sides are the favourites to win the Premier League going into the new season.
Their last meeting in the Community Shield was a cracker and a delightful appetiser for the campaign that followed. Hopefully, this match should be no different.
Liverpool are further along in their preparations than Man City and even have a match at home to Strasbourg the day after this encounter, while Pep Guardiola have just two friendlies under their belt thus far.
It's a fixture often decided by the faintest of margins and so Liverpool's extra friendlies this summer might just hand them the edge.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Man City
