It's the moment most women of the household dread: the return of the football season with the annual FA Community Shield at Wembley Stadium. A traditional curtain-raiser for the new season, the Community Shield sees the previous year's Premier League winners take on the winners of the FA Cup. This season's game sees Premier League champions Manchester United take on local rivals and FA Cup winners Manchester City in an all Manchester affair in North London. United have strengthened significantly over the summer, replacing some of their older players with young and exciting replacements such as Ashley Young, Phil Jones and David De Gea. City, backed by their incredibly rich Middle Eastern owners, are yet to significantly splash the cash in the transfer window but expect that to change at any moment, especially with the impending departure of captain and talisman Carlos Tevez. The match gives fans and coaches a chance to see how their sides are shaping up for the impending season and though it isn't always the most sought after trophy, it's a great way for a team to kick-start a season. It must be said, though, that the managers of both sides will likely be concerned with the state of the Wembley pitch.About Wembley Stadium
The national stadium of the England football team, Wembley Stadium - or New Wembley Stadium, as it is often referred to - was opened in 2007 after a full rebuild to the tune of £757 million. The second largest stadium in Europe, Wembley took over three years to build and is located on the site of the previous 1923 Wembley Stadium, often referred to as "The Twin Towers", which was demolished in 2003.
