… as Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola meet once more at Wembley
Treble-winners Manchester City and last season’s Premier League runners-up Arsenal meet at Wembley, and Arsenal won the Community Shield on penalties with Fabio Vieira scoring final spot-kick as both teams fought for the first prize of the new campaign.
According to independent.co.uk., the Community Shield, the official opening of elite action in England’s men’s game, is always a game for the calendar.
Although it rarely a game which anticipates the worths of the season ahead, it’s still an enthralling opportunity to see where these respective squads are ahead of the opening game of the 2023/24 league next term.
While Mikel Arteta has added the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz to his squad this summer, Mateo Kovacic has traded Chelsea for Man City as a replacement for Ilkay Gundogan.
