View the best photos from practice as City makes final adjustments to its Community Shield final preparations. Following our amazing Treble victories and the Gunners’ second-place Premier League result from the previous season, Pep Guardiola’s team will play Arsenal at Wembley Stadium in the 2023–24 season’s opening match.

On Sunday, August 6, kickoff in London is set for 16:00 (UK). This match gives us an early opportunity to expand our collection of trophies.

We arrive at the conference fresh off a hugely beneficial preseason tour of Asia in which we defeated Bayern Munich and Yokohama F. Marinos before falling just short of Atletico Madrid in South Korea.

After pushing us all the way in a nail-biting title chase that went into the final month of the season in 2022/23, Mikel Arteta’s team will undoubtedly present an exceptionally difficult test.

In order to give us the best chance of winning our seventh Community Shield trophy on Sunday, City was working really hard at the CFA.
