Match between Premierleague champions Manchester United and FA Cup winners Manchester City takes place in neutral ground, Wembley.
07/08/2011 Manchester United - Manchester City
Man United had great preseason in USA, wining 5 from 5, scoring 18, conceiding only 3.
Players are in great form. Yes, they will miss Hernandez (will be absent for 2-3 weeks). Fletcher, Rafael and Carrick should miss aswell. But United still have plenty to choose from.
Just on Friday United played testimonial game for their loyal soldier Paul Scholes, but all players played just 45 minutes, scored 6 goals and in good mood should take on another challenge.
Man City also started preseason in USA, but their wins were not so impressive. Altogether (inclusive of two matches in Dublin Cup), they won 4 from 5. In some games they squad were mix of main players and reserves.
Saga with Tevez still continues and he won't feature in game on Sunday, because he is still in South America on holidays! Yes, he wants to leave City, but the biggest problem - there are no clubs who could meet his money demands and price for the player.
New signing Aguero will be on the bench. Craig Bellamy, Adebayor and Santa Cruz are out of favour and are leaving club. So who's gonna score? Balotelli and Dzeko? That's the only option and doesn't look promising in tomorrow's game.
Even if it's only Community Shield game, teams will fight for every ball. Alex Ferguson won't let rich neighbour to grab another trophy and I see bigger probability of United wining.
United were involved in last 4 Community Shield finals, winning 3 of them. But 3 times from 4, 90 minutes finished as a draw.
I will take safer option on United in case of draw.
