Our predictions for Man City v Arsenal in the Community Shield, including who we think will win. <\/p>
Manchester City will hope to put their miserable record in the Community Shield to bed when they face Arsenal at Wembley this weekend.<\/p>\n
It is the third year in a row that Pep Guardiola\u2019s side will contest the match \u2013 but they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in last season\u2019s curtain-raiser and lost 1-0 to Leicester City in 2021.<\/p>\n
The Premier League champions have a terrific strike rate against Arsenal, however, having won their last eight meetings with the north London outfit \u2013 including last term\u2019s decisive title clashes.<\/p>\n
The Gunners finished five points behind City in 2022\/23 and Mikel Arteta has splashed the cash on Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurri\u00ebn Timber in a bid to bridge the gap.<\/p>\n
Arsenal are competing in the Community Shield for the first time since 2020, when they secured the trophy thanks to a penalty shootout victory over Liverpool.<\/p>\n
