FA urges fans NOT to travel to Community Shield by train with industrial action expected to effect rail services as Manchester City set to take on Liverpool at Leicester's King Power Stadium on July 30

The Football Association has urged fans planning to travel to the Community Shield by rail to make alternative arrangements, with services set to be hit by industrial action.

Premier League champions Manchester City are due to meet FA Cup winners Liverpool at Leicester's King Power Stadium on Saturday, July 30 - Wembley will host the Euro 2022 final the following day - when train drivers from eight companies are staging a 24-hour walk-out over pay.

FA chiefs believe most fans were already intending to travel to the East Midlands by road, but have advised those who were due to make the trip by rail to re-think their plans.
