Prediction

  • While City have struggled in this fixture in recent seasons, they may come out on top in this one.

  • Rasfhord should be loaned to Sunday League

  • Man City have failed to Win each of the last 3 community shields.

  • @Marbella Because of curse win community shields will lose EPL champion, Guardiola known this well.

  • I hate the mentality of this team so much, United just gave the cup away. Physically became weaker after the goal, wasted time in their own half. Kept Rashford on instead of Diallo in the second half, the guy misses a lot of clear chances and then score one in 5 to save himself. Bernardo could've been red carded there, contact after whistle and fully intentional. We saw many games United threw away last season and it's exactly because of this mentality, another hopeless season incoming just with a few improvements.

  • @Byakuya MU need a good psychiatrist to sort out the players and manager mentality.

  • @Marbella If it was City 1 up, they would waste time around corner flag. They would make runs forward, anything to keep United away from their goal. But United players acted like the game will finally finish and they will go home, how many games like this and how come Ten Hag doesn't shout at his players? This is not winning mentality, my vote for the game was 1-1 already but City were much worse than expected and United should've taken advantage of it. A good psychiatrist would also go crazy with these, cursed club.

  • Super sub Garnacho.

  • @Marbella he is super regardless sub or not

  • This United side has no chance on paper, they win whenever they're expected to be destroyed though so there's hope.

  • so City wont be champions

  • Haaland +110 / Bruno F. +400 TSA

  • Over 2.5 goals @ 1.65 Odds

  • MAN CITY Ederson, Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovacic, O’Reilly, McAtee, Bobb, Doku, Haaland.

  • MAN UTD Onana, Maguire, Martinez, Evans, Dalot, Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes, Amad, Mount, Rashford.

  • can't see anything but a city win here, over 2.5 goals is th safest option

  • Over 2.5 goals.Both sides expected to name 2 very attacking sides.
