The highly-anticipated Community Shield match to mark the beginning of the 2023/2024 season has been set, with Manchester City scheduled to face Arsenal. The confirmation of this fixture came after Manchester City’s thrilling 2-1 victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Ilkay Gundogan emerged as the hero for the Premier League champions, scoring both goals, while Bruno Fernandes managed to pull one back for the Red Devils from the penalty spot. As per tradition, the Community Shield is traditionally contested between the holders of the league title and the winners of the FA Cup. However, since Pep Guardiola’s men clinched the Double, securing both titles, they will now square off against Arsenal, who finished behind them in the Premier League.
Mark your calendars for August 5th or 6th, as the game is scheduled to take place on one of these days later this year. Football enthusiasts can eagerly anticipate an exciting clash between two powerhouse teams as they battle for the Community Shield and set the stage for the upcoming season.
