Liverpool got their new season off to the perfect start this weekend as they claimed the Community Shield against Manchester City.
Goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and summer signing Darwin Nunez saw the Reds waltz away with the silverware in what will be a big boost ahead of the 2022/23 Premier League season kicking off next weekend.
It has also been suggested that it could give the Merseysiders a big psychological boost ahead of the new campaign with the Reds and City anticipated to be going head-to-head for major honours once again. Whilst victory - and a resultant trophy - cannot be underestimated, the Reds having overcome their closest challengers could potentially give them concern heading into the new season.
