The first trophy of the 2026-27 English football season is up for grabs at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium on Sunday, when Premier League holders Arsenal and FA Cup champions Manchester City renew hostilities in the 2026 Community Shield.
The curtain-raiser is a repeat of the 2023 English Super Cup, in which Mikel Arteta got one over Pep Guardiola on penalties, but the student is no longer facing the master.
Twice Arsenal have won a trophy thanks to a Vieira penalty; Fabio Vieira converted the crucial spot kick against Man City in the 2023 Community Shield, 18 years after Patrick Vieira clinched the FA Cup for the Gunners at Manchester United’s expense in Cardiff.
