Man City vs Man United Predicted Lineups Preview

On Saturday, there will be an exciting match between Manchester City, the Premier League champions, and Manchester United, the FA Cup winners, in the Community Shield.

Man City and Man United will face each other in the Community Shield for the third time. In the past, United emerged victorious in both previous encounters—a narrow 1-0 win back in 1956 and a thrilling 3-2 victory in 2011.

In the last eight instances of the Community Shield, the team that won the FA Cup has emerged victorious on seven occasions. The only exception was when Manchester City defeated Chelsea 2-0 in 2018.

Manchester City has made it to the Community Shield for the fourth year in a row, but unfortunately, they could not secure the trophy in 2021, 2022, or 2023. It’s rare for a team to go four consecutive years without winning the Community Shield, and Manchester United (1998–2001) is the only team to have achieved this.

Man United has an impressive record for the Community Shield, having won it more times than any other team (21). The Red Devils have emerged victorious in the trophy in their previous four showings, marking their latest triumph since a 2-1 victory against Leicester City in 2016, which coincided with Jose Mourinho’s inaugural match as the team’s manager.

Manchester United has recently had the pleasure of having seven players return from their extended holiday. It is anticipated that some of these players will make an appearance in the upcoming Community Shield match on Saturday.

Among the members of the group are players who represented their countries in the 2024 European Championships and Copa America. One notable addition to the team is Joshua Zirkzee, who is United’s first signing of the summer.

Zirkzee may make his first appearance in a United shirt on Saturday, but it’s unlikely that he will start the game. Despite the team’s clear shortage of options up front, United will gradually integrate the Dutchman into the role. Despite being the clear underdogs against City, they managed to defy expectations and defeat them in the FA Cup last May. So, it would be unwise to underestimate them.

After Guardiola suggested managing Erling Haaland’s minutes, the striker proved his worth by scoring a hat-trick against Chelsea. He deserves to start in this thrilling final match. Rico Lewis, Ederson, and Kalvin Phillips might also make an appearance, while Jack Grealish deserves to be chosen.

Unfortunately, United have suffered the loss of Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund due to injuries. Additionally, there are concerns surrounding the availability of Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof. It’s worth noting that Man Utd have only managed to win two out of their last eight matches against Man City in all competitions, suffering six defeats.

Going into this Intense Finals matchup, Man City has a win probability of 40%, whereas Man United has a win probability of 25%, and the possibility of Extra Time is 35%
