This Sunday, the iconic Wembley Stadium will play host to Arsenal and Manchester City for the much-anticipated Community Shield, marking the official kickoff of the new football season.
Manchester City earned their place in the match as the reigning Premier League champions, while Arsenal joins them as the runners-up due to City’s additional triumph in the FA Cup, a part of their Treble win.
City had a five-point lead over Arsenal in the previous season. However, under the stewardship of Mikel Arteta, Arsenal seems to have significantly reinforced their squad this summer.
Who would be in your combined Arsenal and Manchester City starting eleven?
Could Declan Rice give Rodri a run for his money? Is there a chance for John Stones in your midfield line-up? It’s clear that Erling Haaland would be in your team, but would Bukayo Saka be his sidekick?
