Summer signings Calum Chambers, Mathieu Debuchy and Alexis Sanchez may play, but David Ospina has a thigh problem.

MATCH FACTS:

Head-to-head:

Manchester City have lost only one of their last eight games against Arsenal in all competitions (W4, D3).

There have been six red cards in the last eight league matches between these sides, with City receiving four and Arsenal two.

Arsenal:

The Gunners last contested a Community Shield at Wembley in 1999, beating Manchester United 2-1.

The last time they took part in the season's traditional curtain-raiser was in 2005, when they lost 2-1 to Chelsea at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Their most recent win in this fixture was against Manchester United in 2004.

Of the 41 league goals Arsenal conceded in 2013-14, 17 (41%) came in three matches; defeats at Manchester City (6-3), Liverpool (5-1) and Chelsea (6-0).

Arsenal have lost four of their last six competitive matches at Wembley (W1, D1).

Aaron Ramsey scored 16 goals in all competitions in 2013-14, compared to just 11 in his first five seasons with the club.

Manchester City:

City have won the Community Shield or Charity Shield on four occasions, but never at Wembley.

They won this fixture in 2012, beating Chelsea 3-2 in a game staged at Villa Park.

They won their final five games of the 2013-14 season, scoring 14 goals and conceding just three.
