The Sporting News delivers live updates as Liverpool and Manchester City meet in the Community Shield 2022 at Leicester's King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Haaland is out to boos from the travelling Reds, with a special ovation reserved for Mo Salah as he appeared on the big screens, having now signed a new contract. 32nd min: Nunez is greeted by the Liverpool fans for the first time as he warms up in front of them, with a noise only beaten by the goal celebration so far. 15 mins to KO: Reflecting on the backend of 2021/22, which saw him win the Premier League Golden Boot for a third time in five years but miss out on the quadruple, Salah said in the programme: "I always go into every season wanting to win the Golden Boot and it's one of my favourite awards.

In a shortened preseason, it was extremely predictable that this game would be characterised by players slightly off the pace, and yet Thiago looked in midseason form.

He gave Liverpool a deserved lead with his effort curling outwards onto the back post and in.
