England Community Shield confirmed for August 29 at Wembley

Premier League champions Liverpool will take on either Arsenal or Chelsea behind closed doors at Wembley Stadium on August 29.

Arsenal or Chelsea will face Liverpool in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on August 29, the Football Association (FA) has confirmed.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side will go head-to-head with their London rivals in the FA Cup final on Saturday, with the winner to take on the Premier League’s champions.

With the 2020-21 top-flight campaign set to start on September 12, the FA has now announced its date for English football’s traditional curtain-raiser.

Liverpool, who lost the Community Shield on penalties to Manchester City last season, had their first Premier League title wrapped up when Chelsea defeated Pep Guardiola’s side on June 25.
