£100-million pound player Grealish set for Man City debut on Saturday
“We know the level in the Premier League, but it doesn’t stop us competing,” added the Northern Irishman, whose side finished fifth last season.
“Manchester City are a wonderful club with an incredible group of players. They are the reigning champions and they’ve got an absolutely outstanding coach who oversees that,” he added.City have won the shield six times previously, from 12 appearances, most recently in 2019. Leicester’s FA Cup win was the club’s first in their history, but Saturday will be a third appearance in the curtain-raiser.
In 2016, after an astonishing championship-winning campaign against all the odds, the Foxes lost 2-1 to Manchester United. In 1971, as Division Two champions, they played FA Cup runners-up Liverpool in what was then known as the Charity Shield after Arsenal, who had done the double, could not take part due to tour commitments.Both sides will be keen to start the campaign with some silverware, even if the match will be lacking some of the big guns yet to return after a busy summer of international football.
