Community Shield Curse: Only One Winner Took Premier League in Decade

History suggests the Community Shield winner often stumbles in the Premier League title race.

What happened. Ahead of Arsenal vs Manchester City, Mirror Football analyzed the last 10 Community Shield winners, finding only one went on to win the Premier League.

• Only City in 2018/19 won the PL after lifting the Shield.
• Only four of the 10 winners claimed any other silverware that season.

The Community Shield may be a poor indicator of season success for Arsenal and City.
