The Community Shield may not be heralded as a major trophy as compared to the FA and EFL Cup, but it's a moment to signal the return of English top-flight soccer and with it we'll also be treated to quite the matchup. It'll be a Manchester Derby to kick things off as Erik ten Hag and Pep Guardiola's teams will meet at Wembley Stadium.

Despite winning the Premier League title last season, Manchester City will want more. This side is expected to win everything that there is to win. Meanwhile Manchester United will need to prove that they're closer to the side that won the FA Cup and not the one that struggled to compete in league play last season.

Pep Guardiola is never one to keep players who don't want to be at the club there, but in losing Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid, it puts quite a hole in the attack.

"I don't like to tell players what they have to do."Contracts are nice but they can be broken. If you are not happy, why should you be here? He's incredibly loved by the team for his behavior, but like I said many times of the players, if he wants to leave and wants a new challenge -- Atlético is a top club in Spain and in Europe -- and when they suggested to me through the club that he wanted to leave, I said it was OK. Imagine he stays when he doesn't want to stay?," Guardiola said about Alvarez's departure. "I don't know the reason why. He said he wants a new challenge and he feels it is what he has to do."

It's an important look into team dynamics. Despite City's success, sometimes players want to leave so that they can be the main cog in the attack. Keeping players who want out can lead to issues festering and possibly hurt team morale, which is why it's in Guardiola's best interests to move players like Alvarez on. But the Community Shield will be a look at City without Alvarez.

This all means that Phil Foden will become even more important. New arrival Savinho is also someone who has a lot to gain from this opportunity after joining from sister City Group club Troyes (the French club had loaned him out to fellow City Group club Girona last season). Only 20, he was impressive for Girona scoring nine goals and assisting 10 more in league play. Considering that Alvarez wasn't there just to score goals, that type of dual threat is what's needed to replace him especially as players like Foden may need to rotate in as a a false nine if Erling Haaland misses time.

Winners of the English Premier League and the FA Cup meet in this fixture. At the end of the 2023-24 season, City clinched its fourth consecutive league title, leaving Arsenal to be content with second place for the second season running.

Interestingly, the Manchester sides met in the FA Cup final. It was Erik Ten Hag’s men who pipped Pep Guardiola’s league winners to the cup trophy.

Historically, United is the most successful team with 21 FA Community Shield titles, with the last one coming back in 2016. On the other hand, City has won six titles, with the most recent one being in 2019.

The game starts at 3pm BST. It will be shown live on ITV 1 in the United Kingdom and on ESPN+ in the United States.

It is the third time the city rivals have faced each other at Wembley in just 15 months.
