Man City already celebrating getting one over Man Utd for new season

Manchester City have already got one over Manchester United for the new season.

City will again be 'at home' at Wembley for the FA Community Shield on 7 August against United.

Blues' fans will again be housed in the West End of the stadium, as was the case in the FA Cup semi-final clash with the Reds and the FA Cup Final against Stoke.

City will receive 28,000 tickets for the 2011/12 curtain-raiser and will be playing in the Community Shield for the first time, though the Blues did take part in the Charity Shield - its predecessor - on seven occasions in the past, the last being against Burnley in 1973.
