The epitome of the game week as two of the finest side in English football go head to head in what could prove to be an early edge on the race for the glory.
The repeat of the Community Shield clash and the fixture which could prove to be vital in the race for the title as Arsenal are set to host defending champions Manchester City in the Game week 4 of the English Premier league. Two sides who have met earlier this season under different circumstances without some big names when Arsenal cruised past Manchester City to take home the Community Shield.
Arsenal come into the clash on the back of a disappointing result as the Gunners could manage only a draw in their previous clash against Leicester and will be looking to get a win here as the Gunners look to mount up a serious title challenge this term. Manchester City on the other hand will be looking to get another win against the top side after having beaten their other rival Liverpool comprehensively at home.
There are some injury concerns for Arsene Wenger as Arsenal are sweating over the fitness of midfielder Aaron Ramsey who would have to pass a late fitness test to feature in the match while striker Olivier Giroud and Serge Gnabry are still out for some time. There are some good news as Mikel Arteta and Mesut Ozil are declared fit for the clash while Kieren Gibbs also comes back from a hamstring injury. Deadline day signing Danny Welbeck could be on hand to make the Gunners debut and will be looking to transform the international form onto the club after scoring the brace against Switzerland.
Manchester City too have a list of injury concerns as forward Stevan Jovetic is ruled out with an injury while new signing Fernando is also doubtful for the clash. Former Arsenal right back Bacary Sagna could make a return to Emirates as Pablo Zabaleta suffered a knock in the friendly against Germany.
Probable Lineups :
Arsenal : Szczesny; Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs; Arteta; Cazorla, Ozil, Ramsey, Sanchez; Welbeck.
Manchester City : Hart; Sagna, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov; Nasri, Toure, Fernandinho, Silva; Dzeko, Aguero.
Prediction :
