The Community Shield will be played on Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London between Arsenal and Manchester City.

Last season, both squads contributed to a dramatic championship race.

 

Pep Guardiola’s side eventually won the Premier League after establishing an unassailable lead, before completing a historic treble in the Champions League final.

Many are tipping them to repeat the same feat but Guardiola is well aware of what lies ahead.

He said: “There are a lot of teams that are going to fight for everything and the challenge is massive for us.

“It’s impossible to win more than we did. The difficulty is determining how hungry we are and whether we still want to defend what we have won.

“We’ll see how we can overcome in the next 11 months, especially during the tough times, which will be more frequent than ever.”

Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists that his side will give it everything they have got, despite acknowledging they are facing “the best team in Europe”.

“This is what we want: to compete for every trophy.” “We must demonstrate this,” Arteta stated.

“What we did last year was insufficient to win the big trophy, and we must improve.”

 

“We’re very excited to play in a final and compete for a trophy.” We’re playing against the team to beat, the top club in Europe last season, and we know what the expectations are.”

What can we expect from the two teams?

Bukayo Saka is expected to start for Arsenal

With the big-money additions of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Timber, Arsenal’s roster is substantially stronger than the one that pushed City for the title last season. While it raised concerns at first, Havertz’s addition provides Arteta with options for remarkable flexibility in attacking play. In their friendly against Barcelona, the German started as a left-sided No 8, replacing Granit Xhaka, before switching to the left wing and up front throughout the game.

Given the adaptability of other attacking assets like Saka and Leandro Trossard, anticipate some of the interaction and position switching we’ve come to expect from Guardiola’s Man City from the team in red.

Meanwhile, Rice is anticipated to play alongside Thomas Partey in a midfield pairing that has been tested throughout pre-season. Despite Xhaka’s reputation as a hard man, Rice is a major upgrade both defensively and offensively, and will most certainly be crucial in this match.

Arsenal fans may be frustrated not to see Timber in his usual position, as a player who is most comfortable as a right-back or centre-back is likely to be used on the left to cover for Zinchenko. Despite this, he has succeeded as a left-back in pre-season, demonstrating his qualities as a versatile athlete with superior football intelligence.
