But as for City losing three Community Shields, dunno... I don't look into stats like that much as all I know is Man City has the better squad, the better manager and is the better club overall. Man City losing three times all comes down to variance. If anything, they're due to win this one. :-/
But dunno... We'll see.
My money is on City to win it. How do these guys put it?
Third Fourth time's the charm. Like you said, City has the best squad out of both teams and I want to assume that Man Utd will just be the same old Man Utd that Arne Slot with his adjusting Liverpool side thrashed 0-3. Guardiola would really want to win tomorrow's Community shield so it doesn't start to feel like a curse.
Like I said, City to win tomorrow. We'll see.
But there's another important thing to consider... Which squad will Guardiola deploy for the Community Shield.
If he deploys most of his B squad and Man United deploys their first 11 guys then there's a chance City loses the match by one goal.
But we'll see, if Guardiola is gonna deploy Haaland, Grealish, KDB and Silva and that could be enough to get a win.
Good luck to all your bets.
