Manchester derby to decide first trophy of the season

Man City vs Manchester United LIVE!

Erik ten Hag arguably saved his job by downing City at this venue only two-and-a-half months ago to secure his second trophy in as many seasons at Old Trafford, and another piece of silverware (albeit not a major one) would set United up for a much more promising campaign. However, they have been a little shaky during pre-season with injuries taking their toll.

City, meanwhile, look set to gently ramp up their preparations in trademark style - a routine which has seen them lose the last three Community Shield matches in a row. Rodri leads a key quartet of absentees for Pep Guardiola. Follow the latest updates from Man City vs Man Utd LIVE via Standard Sport’s match blog!

Kalvin Phillips could start for Man City

Pep Guardiola has praised Kalvin Phillips and Jack Grealish for their work during pre-season.

After a torrid loan spell at West Ham, Phillips played as a centre-back on the tour of the USA could start the Community Shield in the same position. Guardiola said: "He is a central midfielder but I said many times Kalvin likes to see all the game in front of him.

"When he is in the middle surrounded by players he struggles a little bit, but he helped us a lot in the last two games on tour. I should have realised before [he can] play in that position. I think his confidence is back."

Guardiola has also been impressed by Grealish in pre-season as he bids to put the disappointment of being left out of England's Euro 2024 squad behind him.

"What I've seen so far, I love it," Guardiola said. "Every training session, his commitment and his trying. Against Barcelona he had five or six shots and was aggressive with the ball. His quality will do the rest.

"Hopefully he can sustain it until the end of the season and compete like everyone with one place for the starting XI. That depends on him."

Joshua Zirkzee ready for Man Utd debut

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed he has the option of giving Joshua Zirkzee his debut in Saturday’s Community Shield match against Manchester City.

The Dutch striker arrived in the summer transfer window for £35.8million but only started training with his new teammates in the last week following Euro 2024.

United are, however, in need of Zirkzee at Wembley given Rasmus Hojlund’s absence with a hamstring injury.

Ten Hag has suggested that he will hand Zirkzee a runout although it remains to be seen if that is as a starter or off the bench.

“Yeah I think he can [feature],” Ten Hag told MUTV.

“He is really hungry to do this because he is looking forward and he is also very excited to be coming into the Premier League.

“To come to Manchester United and on his first occasion go to Wembley, of course that will highly motivate him, that's for sure.

“But he is also short in training, he had a break, he trained individually but he has now had a couple of days in the team training.”

Head-to-head record

Nobody has won the Community Shield more times than United (21) with City (6) back in sixth on the all-time list. Only once before have they met in this fixture, in 1956 when Dennis Viollet scored the only goal for a United win at Maine Road.

More recently, City have won six of the last eight Manchester derbies and there hasn’t been a derby draw in almost four years.

Man City wins: 61
