How many times have Arsenal won the Community Shield? Gunners' record in season curtain raiser

Arsenal beat rivals Manchester City in the 2023 FA Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on August 6.

The annual curtain-raiser to the English top-flight season traditionally involves the Premier League champions and the FA Cup winners, but with City clinching both titles last season, Arsenal qualified as Premier League runners up.

The Gunners already had a strong record in the competition, with Mikel Arteta winning two titles – as many as Pep Guardiola.
