Liverpool vs Man City highlights in pictures: FA Community Shield 2019 – Raheem Sterling scores at Wembley

1/68

Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola both named strong starting lineups for today's Community Shield clash between Liverpool and Manchester City.

With Sadio Mane not back from leave after an extended Africa Cup of Nations until Monday, Divock Origi, a goalscorer off the bench in Madrid in June, came in while Joe Gomez replaced Joel Matip as Virgil Van Dijk's central defensive partner.

Midfielder James Milner missed out as a precaution while there was no place for young forwards Rhian Brewster or Harry Wilson.

New signing Rodri made his City debut following his £63million summer move from Atletico Madrid, with Fernandinho, the player he has been brought in to replace long-term, not back from his summer break until tomorrow.

Nicolas Otamendi was put straight into the team despite only returning to training this week after Copa America duty with Argentina but compatriot Sergio Aguero and Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus were left on the bench.

Leroy Sane started despite ongoing speculation about his future as he seeks more game time while David Silva was handed the captain's armband for the match after the summer departure of Vincent Kompany.
