Why is Liverpool vs Man City being played at Leicester?
The Community Shield has been moved to the King Power Stadium to make way for the Women's Euro 2022 final.
Liverpool take on Man City this Saturday, while the Women's Euros showpiece will take place a day later, on Sunday.
And one advantage of playing the match at Leicester is that the Community Shield is already there.
The Foxes won the trophy last year after stunning Pep Guardiola's City side to win 1-0 with a last minute Kelechi Iheanacho penalty.
