Pep Guardiola faces a selection dilemma over Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Aké for Manchester City's Community Shield clash with Arsenal.

De Bruyne has returned to full training after sustaining a hamstring injury in last season's Champions League final, although the Belgian playmaker did not feature in any of City's pre-season fixtures, while versatile defender Aké was left on the bench for last Sunday's friendly with Atletico Madrid after picking up a knock against Bayern Munich in their previous friendly.

Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta could hand competitive debuts to all three of his major summer signings at Wembley.

The most expensive of the lot, Declan Rice, came through 62 minutes against Monaco on Wednesday to shake off concerns over his fitness.

Kai Havertz is set to join the England international in the engine room, while Jurriën Timber might start at left-back as Oleksandr Zinchenko has been absent due a muscle injury.

Striker Gabriel Jesus misses out on a reunion with his former club, however, after undergoing knee surgery, which rules him out of the start of the Premier League season.
