Old rivals, Manchester United and Manchester City will renew their hostilities on Saturday when the two teams battle for the Community Shield at Wembley.

The Citizens claimed a record fourth Premier League title in a row last season, beating West Ham 3-1 on the final day of the campaign to retain their crown.

The victory gave Pep Guardiola’s team six of the last seven top-flight titles as they look forward for more silverware this season.

After losing 2-1 to Manchester United in the FA Cup final back in May, City will look to take revenge on their bitter rivals at Wembley this weekend.

After a disappointing Premier League campaign last season that ended with an eighth placed finish, the Red Devils’ FA Cup win saved manager Erik ten Hag’s job.

The Dutchman now faces a make or break third season in charge, so another Wembley success over City on Saturday would be an ideal start to the campaign for all fans at the Old Trafford club.

City won maximum points from the two Premier League meetings between both sides last season, winning 3-0 at Old Trafford before earning a 3-1 win at the Etihad.

The outcome of this weekend’s encounter will determine who truly are the noisy neighbours
