Hello Arsenal fans, how does it feel to know you won’t see Wenger in the dugout again? Odd if you ask me but people come and people go… football remains.

Premier League champions Manchester City will look to pick up from where they left off last season, a hundred whooping points, breaking records here and there, they will struggle to match that record considering how strong oppositions are this time but they are still the team to beat.

Arsenal added five new faces, finally fixing their holding midfield issues with Torreira and goalkeeping issues with Leno, all eyes will be on Unai Emery as he picks his perfect eleven to start his very first game in charge as Arsenal manager.

City beat Chelsea to win the Community Shield last weekend, huge result by all standards despite not being fresh, they added Mahrez from Leicester to a very strong forward line, they will molest teams again.

Arsenal will count on the ever-smiling Aubameyang and Lacazette upfront, Mesut Ozil will be key depending on how they set up, Arsenal won’t be the same as of old.

Pep Guardiola up against Unai Emery, Kevin De Bryune up against Torreira, Sane, Mahrez and Sterling running down against Bellerin and Monreal… This would be a cracker.

Verdict: Manchester City to win
