Manchester United will be looking to get one over Man City again when they face their noisy neighbours in the Community Shield this weekend.
Erik ten Hag saved his job with victory over City in the FA Cup final at the end of last season and will be hoping for a repeat performance as the perfect springboard heading into the new campaign.
United could well have a makeshift defence for the match amid an ongoing injury crisis, though they could be boosted by a strong forward line, including summer signing Joshua Zirkzee.
The Dutch forward could make his United debut at Wembley on Saturday afternoon, and could allow Ten Hag to unleash the 'double diamond' tactic he used during his spell at Ajax.
United are expected to play on the counter-attack against City, with Zirkzee a contender to occupy a false nine role and link-up play between midfield and attack. Here is how it could look:
