Manchester City and Liverpool will both be missing key players on Saturday.

The Premier League Champions face the Emirates FA Cup winners in the annual season curtain-raiser this weekend.

City and Liverpool prepare to do battle once again, as the two North West giants compete for the first silverware of the season.

The Sky Blues, who haven’t lifted the FA Community Shield since beating Liverpool on penalties in 2019, lost 1-0 to Leicester at Wembley Stadium in the Community Shield last season.

Guardiola's side are bidding to lift the trophy for a seventh time, and are featuring in the fixture for a fourth time under the Catalan.

The match is taking place at the King Power Stadium, home of Leicester City, due to Wembley Stadium hosting the Women's European Championship Final between England and Germany on Sunday.

City and Liverpool last met in April, when the Merseyside club beat City 3-2 in a thrilling FA Cup Semi-Final tie.

The Sky Blues pipped Liverpool to the title on the final day of the season, as City dramatically came back from 2-0 down to secure their sixth Premier League title.

Klopp's side meanwhile won both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, and will now be looking to beat the Blues to the FA Community Shield.

Ahead of Saturday's clash at the King Power Stadium, here is the latest team news regarding both Liverpool and Manchester City.
