Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will face Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at the King Power Stadium in the FA Community Shield today.
Liverpool won the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup last season, but it was Manchester City who won the Premier League title.
Klopp’s side will be determined to reclaim the title from City this season.
While today’s game is not exactly going to be an indicator regarding which team will win the Premier League title this season, Liverpool will surely want to make a big impression.
A win for Liverpool against City today will send a message to the defending Premier League champions that they remain strong as ever despite losing Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.
This is how Liverpool will line up against Manchester City in the FA Community Shield today:

As you can see, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has decided to leave summer signing Darwin Nunez on the substitutes’ bench.
Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino has started against Manchester City.
Interestingly, Firmino has been linked with a move away from Liverpool this summer.
As we covered here on HITC Sport this week, Corriere dello Sport have reported that Liverpool are close to selling Firmino to Juventus for £19 million.
