Enzo Maresca is set to lead Manchester City in his first competitive match today, as the club faces Arsenal in the Community Shield. This fixture marks the beginning of a new era for City, following the departure of former manager Pep Guardiola.
The annual curtain-raiser for the Premier League season will take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm BST. The Community Shield is seen as an initial opportunity to assess Arsenal's form and how City's squad is adapting under their new manager, though any conclusions should be drawn with caution.
Elsewhere, West Ham will begin their Championship campaign against Burnley, and Watford will play Southampton.
