Prediction: 1-2
Man City
Wembley Stadium will be the centre of attention when Manchester United and Man City go head to head in the FA Community Shield on Saturday afternoon. The Red Devils suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Liverpool in their last warm-up game and they face yet another uphill task against Man City. Rasmus Hojlund remains in the recovery room, alongside summer signing Leny Yoro and, as a result, Marcus Rashford is expected to lead the line for the nominal hosts.
The Citizens, on the other hand, aim to add yet another silverware to their collection and their display in a 4-2 win over Chelsea is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s showdown. Summer recruit Savinho could make his official Man City debut in the Manchester derby, while goalkeeper Ederson is back to contention. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Pep Guardiola can count on key players for the Wembley Stadium clash.

Highlighted Team (Man City):
Manchester City are the lest famous of the two major clubs based in Manchester. The club was founded in 1880, but they have been struggling in the English Premier League in the past. Nonetheless, ever since the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the Citizens have been playing an important role in the English top flight.
Manchester City won two Premier League trophies under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini (2011/2012 and 2013/2014), but both managers eventually paid the price for some disappointing results. Man City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium and the stadium capacity is 55,097.
Manchester United are regarded as Manchester City’s biggest rivals and the likes of Kun Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Uwe Rosler, Yaya Toure, Sylvain Distin are some of the most remarkable players that played for the Etihad Stadium outfit. Manchester City have won four Premier League titles and five FA Cup trophies and it has to be noted that they made it to the Champions League semis in the 2015/2016 season.
