Ah, the Community Shield. The trophy no one really cares about and wants to win. However, it is the traditional curtain-raiser to the new football season in England - even if the majority of the Football League started a week before.
The Shield returns to Wembley Stadium this year - it was held at Villa Park last season due to the clash with the Olympics last year - with the Premier League champions taking on the FA Cup winners as per tradition.
Here is a look back at some Community Shield classics -
2012 Manchester City 3-2 Chelsea
2011 Manchester United 3-2 Manchester City
2009 Chelsea 2-2 Manchester United (Chelsea win 4-1 on penalties)
