2023 FA Community Shield: Arsenal 'quenching thirst'?
(Baonghean.vn) - Coach Mikel Arteta and his team have a great chance to defeat Man City in the 2023 English Super Cup match.
Usually, the battleFA Community Shieldis a match between the reigning Premier League champions and the reigning FA Cup champions. However, since Man City won the championship in both competitions in the 2022/2023 season, this year's Community Shield match is between Man City and Arsenal - the reigning Premier League runners-up.
Going into this match, Arsenal is the team that experts rate higher in terms of chances of winning. Not only adding many quality faces such as Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice or Kai Havertz, the Emirates team also has a very serious preparation for the season with valuable friendly matches (winning Barcelona 5-3, losing to Man United 0-2...).
In contrast to their opponents, coach Pep Guardiola and his team are not well prepared for the 2023/2024 season. Notably, up to now, Etihad Stadium has only welcomed two new players, Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol, while having to say goodbye to Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez. Never before has Man City, coach Pep Guardiola, been so indifferent to the summer transfer market.
In addition, compared to Man City, Arsenal are also more eager to win the match that will take place on August 6. Simply put, Arsenal under coach Mikel Arteta is going through a "title drought" that has lasted for nearly 3 long years. Don't forget, the last time Arsenal won the championship was in the 2020 Community Shield (their loser was Liverpool).
What worries Arsenal fans the most is the head-to-head record between coach Mikel Arteta and coach Pep Guardiola in the past. Specifically, coach Mikel Arteta only won 1 match and lost 8 matches out of 9 times he faced his teacher. However, the statistics are only for reference. The chance for Arsenal to beat Man City in the 2023 Community Shield is extremely high./.
