The last three Community Shield matches have gone to penalties — Arsenal's win over Man City in 2023, City's win over Man United in 2024, and Crystal Palace's defeat of Liverpool last August.
Player usage is the question for this game, as both Mikel Arteta and new City boss Enzo Maresca are evaluating how many minutes to give their stars still finding fitness after recent post-World Cup breaks.

Arsenal vs Manchester City prediction
City have more new pieces but Arsenal have some key players whose fitness makes calling this game a tricky one. Maybe that's why these matches have been deadlocks the past few seasons? It's nice to have Gianluigi Donnarumma if the match goes longer than 120 minutes. Arsenal 1-1 Man City (City win after penalties).
