Community Shield: Liverpool to take on Manchester City

Published on: 18 May 2019

Liverpool's only defeat in the Premier League during the season came against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium in January

It was one of the most thrilling title races in Premier League history - but Liverpool and Manchester City will not have to wait long to meet again.

They are set to face each other just before the start of the new Premier League season in the Community Shield.

A date has yet to be confirmed, but the game is likely to be in early August.

Manchester City won the domestic treble - the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup - meaning league runners-up Liverpool are named opponents.

City won the Community Shield in 2018 by beating Chelsea 2-0.

Sergio Aguero scored both City goals, including his 200th for the club.

Liverpool will be competing for the trophy for the first time since 2006, when they beat Chelsea 2-1 in Cardiff.
