Man City team news
Josh Wilson-Esbrand will be out of action for Man City due to injury. So too will EURO 2024 stars Rodri, John Stones, Phil Foden and Kyle Walker, since they are not yet back in training after the Euros final. A big boost for Man United, then.

Man United team news
Saying that, team news hasn't been kind to Man United ahead of the Community Shield. They will be without new signing Leny Yoro, who is also set to miss the opening stage of the season. Rasmus Hojlund and Tyrell Malacia are also ruled out through injury.
As per Sports Mole, Erik ten Hag has stated that Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw will be assessed before kick-off, as they are doubtful currently.
Predicted Man United lineup vs Man City: Onana; Dalot, Evans, Martinez, Amass; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee
Man City vs Man United prediction
Much like the FA Cup final, this game will be close. Both sides are missing key players, weakening them both in key positions. Unfortunately, I think Man United's frail defence could let them down. I will go with Man City 2-0 Man United, but I hope I'm wrong.
