What happened. Ahead of Sunday's Community Shield between Arsenal and Manchester City, stats show that winning the curtain-raiser rarely leads to a Premier League title.

Only one of the past 15 Community Shield winners became champions.
Since 1992, losing finalists have won more league titles (10) than winners (8).
Last year's winners Crystal Palace finished 15th in the league.

The match could hint at the season ahead, but history suggests caution.
