Manchester City, with the Argentine Julián Álvarez, will face Arsenal, in the first definition of the English season in the Community Shield.
The game will be played from 12 (Argentina time) with ESPN television and at Wembley Stadium in London.
This competition is usually played by the champions of the FA Cup and the Premier League, but in this case both consecrations were for the City of the Catalan Josep “Pep” Guardiola, for which Arsenal qualified as they were second in the Premier.
The last three antecedents were for Manchester City: in the England Cup (1-0 on January 27) and in the Premier (3-1 on February 15 and 4-1 on April 26).
The big loss for City, which also has Argentine Máximo Perrone on its squad, will be German midfielder Ilkay Gündogan, who moved to Barcelona from Spain, and will have Croatian Mateo Kovacic, from Chelsea, in his place.
It will be necessary to see how the readaptation of Manchester City takes place after one of the most sensitive exits that it could have after a dream season with the triplet made up of both local competitions and the first Champions League in its history.
For its part, Arsenal, which largely led the last Premier League although in the end it was left without good results and performance to remove the thorn of so many seasons without being English champion.
For this, it was reinforced with weight names such as the German attacker Kai Havertz for 65 million pounds (82.5 million dollars) and the English midfielder Declan Rice (West Ham), for 124 million dollars.
