Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is desperate to add trophy to his cabinet.

The Reds can win the Community Shield by beating Manchester City on Sunday.

"I don't think I'll ever tire of playing at Wembley," said the England international in an interview for the official match programme.

"I've been lucky to play here a few times with Liverpool and of course England. The feeling of coming here and it being special never gets old. It's a big game and a big occasion.

"It's a first for me playing in a Community Shield but I know it's a competition Liverpool have always taken seriously, so that brings a responsibility for whoever gets picked to do everything we can to win.

"I'm not bothered about an advantage, we just want to win full stop. The opponent is only relevant because in order to win it, we have to beat them. Sure, it's the same for City. It's the next game for us and therefore the next one we can win that's our attitude.

"We've huge respect for City and what they achieved last season and we also respect they'll be a big force again this season but [this match] isn't about anything other than doing our best to win for our supporters."
