Arsenal handed potential trophy and £1.25million after Manchester City’s FA Cup final win

Arsenal will face Manchester City in the Community Shield this summer following City's FA Cup final win over Manchester United.

City secured victory over their arch rivals thanks to two goals from Ilkay Gundogan at Wembley, while Bruno Fernandes equalised in the first half after netting a penalty.

The traditional season curtain raiser will be played on August 6, a week before the start of the new Premier League season.

According to previous reports, each side stands to share £1.25million from the overall Community Shield fund, while money will also be raised for charity and teams in the lower leagues of British football.

The Gunners are joint top with Liverpool in terms of most Community Shields won and previously beat Man City back in 2014 when Mikel Arteta captained the side.
