New Manchester City signing Willy Caballero starts in goal at the expense of England's Joe Hart against Arsenal in the Community Shield this afternoon.

The Gunners meanwhile start with new signing Alexis Sanchez and Frenchman Yaya Sanogo, who comes in for his compatriot Olivier Giroud, after the striker looked short of fitness in last week's Emirates Cup.

Other new Arsenal arrivals Calum Chambers and Mathieu Debuchy also line-up for the FA Cup winners, but old boy Bacary Sagna misses out for the Premier League champions.

Former Gunners Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy start for City, who include Dedryck Boyata in an unfamiliar defence that includes Clichy at right-back and youngster Matija Nastasic.

Arsenal XI: Szczesny; Debuchy, Koscielny, Chambers, Gibbs; Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Alexis, Cazorla; Sanogo.

Man City XI: Caballero; Clichy, Boyata, Nastasic, Kolarov; Navas, Fernando, Toure, Nasri; Jovetic, Dzeko.
