Tonight, Arsenal will challenge Manchester City for the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday.

This challenge will be the second face-off between the two teams since Manchester City captured the title of the Premier League, sending Arsenal to the runners-up place. 

It is known that the Community Shield featured the winners of the Premier League and the FA Cup, however, this edition is different as Manchester City captured both titles, so they called the League's runners-up. 

Arsenal topped the Premier League table for 248 days, the most for a team who failed to win the title in English top-flight history.

However, their hopes to capture the title were swept away due to the strong comeback of the Citizens.

Therefore, the Gunners fans looked forward to the club's new additions.

England midfielder Declan Rice signed for Arsenal, arriving from West Ham for £100m.

He followed by Chelsea star Kai Havertz in a £65m deal and the Dutch defender Jurrien Timber from Ajax for £38.5m.

On the other hand, the triple-crowned champions signed Croatia midfielder Mateo Kovacic and defender Josko Gvardiol.
