FA Community Shield Rules

The Football Association Community Shield (formerly the Charity Shield) is English football's annual match contested at Wembley Stadium between the champions of the previous Premier League season and the holders of the FA Cup. If the Premier League champions also won the FA Cup, then the league runners-up provide the opposition. The rules of the Community Shield are generally the same as those of the Premier League, with a team of 11 starting players and 7 substitutes. However, unlike in most other competitions where only five substitutions are permitted, teams in the Community Shield are permitted up to six substitutions. If the scores are level after 90 minutes, the teams play a penalty shootout. If a team wins both the Premier League and the FA Cup, the runners-up from the Premier League will be the opposition.

Manchester City

Manchester City qualified for the 2024 FA Community Shield after winning their historic fourth straight Premier League success in the 2023–24 season. The reigning Champions Manchester City will look to avenge their surprising 2-1 FA Cup defeat to their arch-rival Manchester United at Wembley Stadium in late May. Manchester City have won the Community Shield six times in their 15 appearances. Notably, City have lost all three of their previous Community Shield appearances, including a penalty shootout defeat to Arsenal last year. Pep Guardiola's side suffered three consecutive defeats in their preseason games, including a 4-3 loss to Celtic, a 3-2 defeat to AC Milan, and a 4-1 penalty loss to FC Barcelona following a 2-2 full-time draw. However, in their final preseason games ahead of the final, City defeated Chelsea 4-2 on Sunday at the Ohio Stadium in the United States.

Manchester United

Manchester United will look to replicate their success in defeating Manchester City to secure their 13th FA Cup title, with Erik Ten Hag's side securing an impressive 2-1 victory in the final. The Red Devils ended their season in eighth place in the 2023–24 Premier League season and will look to kickstart their season positively. During the preseason games, Erik Ten Hag's side had mixed form, as they won twice and lost twice. Manchester United suffered defeats to Arsenal and Liverpool, but they defeated Rangers and Real Betis.

Manchester City vs Manchester United team news

Manchester United's new signing, Leny Yoro, picked up an unfortunate foot injury in our friendly against Arsenal in Los Angeles. The Red Devils also suffered setbacks on the frontline while across the pond. In that same game against the Gunners, striker Rasmus Hojlund went down not long after netting the game's first goal and had to be withdrawn. The pair join Tyrell Malacia in the treatment room as he continues his recovery from a long-term injury.

Manchester City Rodri is yet to return to the pitch since he was withdrawn at half-time for Spain as they defeated England in the Euro 2024 final. Goalkeeper Ederson, however, has also been flagged as a potential doubt.
