Arsenal and Manchester City are set to face off in the 2014 FA Community Shield on Sunday, August 10.

Kick-off time is 10:00 a.m. EDT (3:00 p.m. BST) at Wembley Stadium, London, England.

The game will be broadcast on BT Sport 1 and BBC Radio 5 Live in the United Kingdom.

The game will also air on Fox Deportes and Fox Sports 1 USA.

Live stream is available on BT Sport App and Fox Soccer2Go.

Arsenal are 21/10 to win the match, as compared to 13/10 for Man City.

The FA Community Shield is the traditional English football league curtain-raiser. It was previously known as the Charity Shield until 2002.

Proceeds from the game are given to various charities and community-based initiatives in the United Kingdom, and the revenue from gate receipts and programme sales are given to the FA Cup first round clubs to distribute to charities of their choice.

The match pits the winner of the English Premier League (EPL) against the FA Cup winners at Wembley stadium.

The 2013/2014 EPL winners is Man City, while the FA Cup champions is Arsenal.

As the FA Community Shield is not considered to be a very prestigious event, winning it doesn’t give the champions much bragging rights.

Winning also doesn’t guarantee that a team will go on to do well in the season, with the best example being Manchester United in the 2013/2014 season.

United went into the match as EPL champions, won it, but finished 7th that season.
