Arsenal will have revenge of their mind when they take on Manchester City on Sunday in Community Shield 2023 at Wembley stadium. Having suffered the painful loss for last year’s English Premiere League trophy to Man City, the gunners are heads high to revenge against their rival in the EPL curtain – raiser match.
Mikel Arteta, the team manager says the fan base is expecting a lot of wins following last season’s performance. Arsenal last season finished five points behind Pep Guardiola’s men despite holding an eight-point lead in April
“In the end, it will be about playing better and earning the right to win every match,” Arteta said.
“We made some important signings, like other teams are doing, but when you are Arsenal, you have to handle that.”
Arsenal this transfer season have spent a spree of more than £200 million (US$254 million) on England midfielder Declan Rice, Germany forward Kai Havertz and Dutch defender Jurrien Timber, Arsenal have an early opportunity to show they are equipped to end City’s three-year reign as champions.
