It might seem like the 2019/20 Premier League season has only just finished, but old rivalries are about to be renewed as the Community Shield heralds a new dawn of the most popular soccer league in the world.

Arsenal, last season’s F.A. Cup winners, will take on Liverpool, the 2019/20 runaway Premier League champions in a game that may say more about where each team’s fitness is rather than guide us towards value in picking where either team will end up.

Finding Form

While Liverpool have rather stumbled over the line, not beating anyone of note at the tail-end of the season, Arsenal come into the 2020/21 season in fine form. Mikel Arteta is clearly building a great team ethic and while some of the players at his disposal wouldn’t get near the Liverpool team in the same positions, the collective is steadily improving with virtually every game.
