The Community Shield is being brought forward by an hour and a half after Manchester City raised concerns over its kick-off time.
Pep Guardiola’s Treble winners were due to start next season against Arsenal on August 6 in a 5:30pm kick off at Wembley.
But that has now been moved to 4pm after discussions between the Football Association, broadcasters and the two clubs.
City supporters have warned of a boycott of the fixture – scheduled at an inconvenient time for those from the north of the country - and a fans’ group urged others to donate money to a local foodbank charity instead.
