Community Shield

The rivalry between Man City and Liverpool has been reduced to the finest of margins, so the Community Shield clash on Saturday really matters.

Both managers and sets of players might like to suggest otherwise by playing down the game's significance, but every game now matters when Liverpool face Manchester City and this one is no different. If there is a winner when they meet at Anfield on Oct. 15 or at the Etihad on April 1, it will be a momentous result for the victor. With Haaland's goal threat, City may have to alter the way they play and become more direct to ensure he gets the service he needs, but with such a dangerous focal point in their team, any change will only likely make them better. Both are proven at the highest level, with the 22-year-old Haaland already justifying his billing as a generational talent with Borussia Dortmund and FC Salzburg. Tottenham have invested well this summer, giving manager Antonio Conte the reinforcements he demanded to be able to transform the team into title challengers, but while the six new arrivals -- Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma, Djed Spence, Fraser Forster and Clement Lenglet -- have arguably turned Spurs into the best of the rest, they're still some way back from the top two. Liverpool is still the game that generates more global interest than any other Premier League match, but right now, it is far from a level contest.

“We have played this ‘final’ a couple of times and it would be nice if we could win it. “It’s very important,” he said. “Ali trained today more than the day before, so he will definitely be available for Fulham,” Klopp said, referring to Liverpool’s first opponent in the Premier League on Aug. 6, “but not for the weekend.”

Saturday’s match will be an early preview of what they’re up against. Núñez made a club-record £85m million move with Benfica for the young striker with the sole purpose of giving Liverpool a world-class attack threat entering his prime years.

“We try to do the right things but, of course, the schedule is always a challenge to deal with and that’s how it is,” Klopp added. So we have to extend our pre-season, if you want, into the season. “We trained the day before twice, so pretty intense, and that’s what we have to do.

Leicester are the current holders of the Community Shield after beating City at the start of last season thanks to an 89th-minute Kelechi Iheanacho penalty. In 2012, Villa Park became the last ground other than Wembley to hold the fixture as Wembley was being used for the London Olympics. Several have welcomed the move to hold it in Leicester, particularly the fans of Liverpool and Man City after the travel difficulties that ensued for both sets of supporters during April’s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. Both the Emirates Stadium and the London Stadium showed their interest in keeping the game in London but their efforts have been rebuffed. The Premier League is set to start a week earlier than usual this season because of the winter break for the Qatar World Cup, meaning the Community Shield will take place in the unusual slot of late July. Jurgen Klopp will be desperate to finally win the Community Shield having lost in his previous two attempts against City and Arsenal.

All of this and more on this week's edition of 'The Room' Podcast. The lads debate whether it's a respectable piece of silverware or just a glorified friendly. Liverpool's Community Shield opener is just around the corner now as the reds look to get their 2022/23 campaign off to the best possible start, have Liverpool strengthened their ranks enough heading into the start of the season, or is their transfer targets out there who could complete this year's squad?

"He told us early enough and we accepted it. "We lost Sadio who was a fixed lineup player for six years. Diogo, it will take a while, unfortunately," Klopp told reporters ahead of Saturday's match at the King Power Stadium.

And the only time we really have is the pre-season, that’s why we love it and use it as good as we can and train as often as is somehow possible. He showed up, he’s in the middle of the team after a short period of time and that’s a good sign for the team but for him as well. We play on Saturday against City and we play on Sunday a pre-season test game, whatever, against Strasbourg. Then we play Fulham and the next day we play another game, just that we can extend our pre-season, that’s what we have to do. The situation is that it’s a very important game, but the situation is that we still have to prepare a season, so we cannot ignore that. So we have to do that and we did it, so from that point of view I’m fine. I hope that we can bring that on the pitch on Saturday as well. We have to find a way and that’s what we try definitely. But the good thing is we don’t have to think too far, we just have to find a way to win the football games, the specific football games on the weekend. When Sadio came and told us he wants to face a new challenge, because it was early enough we accepted that and said yeah, when the club is coming and everything goes well then we can do that. We had time to prepare that situation because he came early and that’s what we did. One point more is enough after 38 matchdays and one goal more is enough in a football game usually as well. Congratulations to all the teams who were part of it because it is a commercial for football, not only for women’s football.

LONDON (AFP) - Liverpool pair Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota have been ruled out of Saturday's (July 30) Community Shield clash against Manchester City.

"It's the last domestic cup competition we didn't win yet, so we will give it a try." "It's very important. "Ali trained today more than the day before, so he will definitely be available for Fulham, but not for the weekend," Klopp said.

This time, if Cancelo gets in trouble against the Colombian, expect a drag-back or late tackle. All but three of those came from inside the penalty area, and just under 50 per cent were on target. Sadio Mane has departed, replaced by Nunez — who scored four times in the second half against RB Leipzig in the Reds' 5-0 preseason win. With just those 40 minutes at Lambeau Field as his only time in a City shirt so far, he could require more action to get into a real rhythm. As a result, three of the last five Community Shield games have ended level, requiring a penalty shootout. — — — — -132 / -105 -125 / +105 -132 / +105
