The annual English football curtain-raiser takes place at the King Power Stadium in Leicester on Saturday, as Liverpool and Manchester City lock horns for the chance to lift the Community Shield.
Jurgen Klopp's side got their hands on both domestic cups last season, but it was the Citizens who finished as top dogs in the Premier League yet again.
Two wins and two defeats have come the Reds' way in pre-season so far, but preparations for the reunion with City did not go according to plan in Austria during a 1-0 defeat to Red Bull Salzburg.
Man City's pre-season period is now technically over, but Guardiola will renew hostilities with Barcelona for an ALS charity friendly at the end of August, and the Citizens have an added motivation to come out on top in the annual curtain-raiser.
In the last 10 matches between the teams we have 4 wins for City, 4 draws and 2 wins for Liverpool.
Most bookies offer HA 0.0 pro City around @1.90 which I also consider a value bet.
Here we go with Guardiola's team believing in an offensive imposition and dominance of ball possession in this great confrontation.
Probable scores here are 1-2 2-3
Marco Antonio,
GL!

一年一度的英格兰足球揭幕战将于周六在莱斯特的国王权力体育场举行,利物浦和曼彻斯特城争夺社区盾杯的机会。
克洛普的球队上赛季拿到了两个国内奖杯,但曼城队再次成为英超冠军。
到目前为止,红魔在季前赛中已经取得了两胜两负的成绩,但是在奥地利0:1输给萨尔茨堡红牛的比赛中,与曼城重新会合的准备工作并没有按照计划进行。
曼城的季前赛严格意义上已经结束,但瓜迪奥拉将在8月底的ALS慈善友谊赛中与巴萨重新展开敌对,市民队也有了在年度揭幕式中脱颖而出的额外动力。
在两队最近的10次对战中,曼城取得了4胜4平2胜。
大多数彩票公司提供HA 0.0 pro City约1.90,我也认为这是一个价值赌注。
瓜迪奥拉的球队在这场伟大的对抗中崇尚进攻的强制力和控球的统治力。
这里可能的分数是1-2 -3
