What's the Community Shield?
The Community Shield is an annual football match played in England, traditionally between the winners of the Premier League and the FA Cup from the previous season. It's often seen as the curtain-raiser for the new football season, offering an early chance for silverware and a run-out for players, like Lewis-Skelly's strong performance for Arsenal.
