***City v Arsenal Community Shield Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

The last pre season friendly. 3pm KO in Cardiff

Be nice to beat Arteta and his boys. Just because. Though I shouldn’t imagine many of us will lose sleep if we don’t. Arsenal have not had great results in their pre season and another loss today would hopefully further increase any doubts ready for the season starting

For those who are going, have a safe journey and hopefully enjoy the game and see something approaching our first team

City 3-1

Only a preseason friendly if we lose. If we win it's another trophy

This. Looking forward to seeing how Enzo sets us up.

[Nickyboy]

Got a feeling Enzo would want to win this so will be taking it more seriously than us fans.

Semenyo looking sharp in preseason. I have him flagged for a staring role today and hopefully Cherki and Foden both start.

Stronger than I thought to be honest

Dias as captain worries me though

Wonder if Jackie is back in the circle or in the shop window?

[sheblue]

Strong team on paper, but there's 4 there i didn't see starting Ando, doku, Haaland and nico.

in the shop window according to the BBC's "chief Manchester City reporter". He'll most likely be staying then

They might be assessing how he sits on a bench?

Looks like Enzo is taking this seriously, hope Phil can get back to his best.
