The Charity Shield was introduced in 1908 as a way to raise funds for charity.
However, the match – which has become the curtain-raiser for the new Premier League season – was later renamed the Community Shield when the Football Association was found not to have met the requirements of charity law.
In 2002, the Charity Commission ruled that the FA had failed to specify the amount of money that went to charities, and the name was changed as a result.
However, funds raised from the game are still distributed to community initiatives and charities across the UK.
The inaugural match was played at Stamford Bridge, but in 1974 then-FA secretary Ted Croker proposed it should be played at Wembley – and that has been the venue ever since.
The match features the previous season’s Premier League champions and the winners of the FA Cup, or the league runners-up if a team won the double.
On Sunday, Crystal Palace – who have never played in the Community Shield before – face 16-time winners Liverpool.
