Manchester City and Manchester United will face off in the Community Shield on Saturday as the English season gets underway.
The Manchester derby will feature 2023-24 Premier League champion City against the reigning FA Cup winner United.
The Red Devils won that FA Cup against none other than City, defeating Pep Guardiola’s side 2-1 in a shocking result at Wembley in May.

Both teams went on preseason tours of the United States, which ended earlier this week. City only managed one win in four matches, while United won once in three outings.
The Red Devils also saw two key players go down with injury during the tour, as Leny Yoro (foot) is out for three months and Rasmus Højlund (hamstring) will miss a month.
Both teams were at less than full strength on their U.S. tours, and will be closer to their best with a number of players returning from summer breaks ahead of the Community Shield.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of the game.
