BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ Manchester United are making their 25th appearance in the FA Community
Shield, formerly known as the Charity Shield, and are attempting to claim
the silverware exactly 100 years after doing so on the first occasion
it was contested.
＊ It was back in 1908 when United, as League champions, defeated then
Southern League champions Queen's Park Rangers 4-0 in a replay after
a 1-1 draw. In those days the Charity Shield was a contest between
professionals and amateurs, prior to becoming the traditional seasonal
curtain-raiser, between the league champions and FA Cup winners.
＊ The Old Trafford based Premier League champions and Champions League
winners have won this pipe-opener 12 times, and have shared it on a
further four occasions.
＊ Portsmouth, who won the FA Cup in May, return to the scene of their 1-0
triumph over Cardiff to compete for the shield for a second time. Their
only previous appearance was in 1949, when as champions of England they
drew 1-1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and shared the silver platter.
The League ladder
＊ Portsmouth ended last season eighth in the Barclays Premier League with
57 points, 20 points inferior to table toppers Manchester United, who
retained the title and claimed their 10th Premier League crown.
HEAD to HEAD
All competitions
＊ These sides met three times last season. The league fixture at Fratton
Park ended 1-1 and United won the reverse 2-0. They then faced up in the
quarter-finals of the FA Cup, when a 78th minute penalty from Sulley Ali
Muntari saw Pompey qualify for the last four.
Premier League
＊ Manchester United lead by six wins to three with one match drawn from 10
Premier League meetings since Portsmouth gained promotion in 2003.
THE MANAGERS
＊ Sir Alex Ferguson will be embarking on his 23rd year in charge of
Manchester United this season. The victory over Chelsea in the
Champions League final in May saw the Red Devils lift their 29th
piece of silverware in the tenure of the 66 year old.
＊ Since taking over at the helm, United under Ferguson have won the Champions
League twice, 10 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, two League Cups, the
European Cup Winners' Cup, the European Super Cup, the Inter-Continental
Cup and the FA Charity/Community Shield six times, and have been joint
holders once.
＊ At 61 years of age, Harry Redknapp will be the second oldest manager in
the Premier League, when it kicks off next weekend. He is in his second
spell in charge at Fratton Park (25 March 2002 to 24 November 2004, and
then re-appointed on 7 December 2005).
＊ Redknapp has masterminded three notable FA Cup victories over Manchester
United. He famously managed Bournemouth to a 2-0 win at Dean Court in 1984,
in pre-Ferguson days. He motivated West Ham to a 1-0 fourth round victory
at Old Trafford in 2001, and inspired Portsmouth to repeat that 1-0 score
at Fratton Park five months ago.
THE REFEREE
＊ Peter Walton has been appointed as a replacement for original appointee
Mark Clattenburg, who is suspended from officiating while the FA
investigate allegations relating to debts of companies connected
to the Fifa-listed referee.
＊ Walton from Northamptonshire, issued three red cards and 74 yellow in 24
Premier League games last season.
