A first time for City to get on the ball here after a lovely kick out by Ederson. Rico Lewis is drifting into midfield when in possession.

Looks like a 4-2-2-2 for Man Utd, Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes the more advanced central midfielders flanked by Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo.

Erling Haaland spearheading the Man City attack, James McAtee the more advanced central midfielder leading the press.

Kick-off!

We’ve just seen interim England manager Lee Carsley take his seat and Wembley is packed out for this Community Shield game.

United in red, City in sky blue as per usual. If we’re level after 90 minutes, it’s straight to penalties.
