The break is over, its games galore starting this Sunday in the English Premier league.
Manchester City and Liverpool will raise the curtain on the 2019/20 English top-flight season when they meet in the FA Community Shield on Sunday 4 August 2019, kick-off at 16:00
The Community Shield sees the revival of the rivalry between Man City and Liverpool – certainly the top two teams in England, and perhaps all of Europe. While the Citizens dominated domestically by winning a treble of Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup, the Reds picked up the biggest prize of all by claiming the UEFA Champions League.
The two clubs have set incredible standards and will head into the start of the new Premier League campaign the following weekend as the clear favourites for the title.
In terms of off-season business, City have been the busier of the pair. Manager Pep Guardiola has brought in Angelino from PSV Eindhoven and midfielder Rodri from Atletico Madrid – the latter could be a key acquisition and a longer-term successor to Fernandinho in the middle of the park.
“When it comes to delivering the best quality football, many soccer fans know to look no further than the World of Champions,” says the CEO of SuperSport, Gideon Khobane ahead of the new season.
“It’s with this in mind that we wanted to celebrate and usher in the new season of football in style to reassure our loyal and passionate football fans on SuperSport that we will continue to deliver the best local and international football leagues, and who none other than Peter Drury to deliver this message.”
