The event usually sees the Premier League and FA Cup winners face off against each other, but with City winning them both it sees the league runners-up Arsenal head to Wembley.
Pep Guardiola's men will be looking to make it third time lucky after losing the last two Community Shield's against Leicester and Liverpool respectively.
Bookmakers make City the heavy favourites to win the trophy this weekend with the latest odds from Bet365 putting them at 2/5 to lift the Community Shield.
If the match ends a draw in 90 minutes the game then goes straight to penalties with the 2020 Community Shield the last time it went to penalties with Arsenal beating Liverpool.
