      Arsenal enters this Community Shield as the top team from last season's Premier League. The team has retained its core championship - winning squad. During the summer transfer window, they brought in midfielder Guimaraes to strengthen their control in the middle of the field. Up front, Odegaard and new signing Tsolis form the offensive core, offering a wide range of attacking options. However, the team currently has two major weaknesses. The first is the injury situation. Key players like starting center - back Saliba and full - back Timber are both out. In the pre - season friendlies, the defense has shown many flaws, conceding goals in multiple consecutive games. The back - line has to rely on young rotation players, and there is a lack of coordination and understanding among them. The second issue is related to the fitness of some players. Many of the England internationals had a short break after the World Cup. Players such as Rice and Saka are not at their peak physical condition.

      Arsenal's defense has suffered significant setbacks. Starting center - back William Saliba aggravated his back injury during the World Cup and will miss the start of the season. Jurrien Timber's groin injury is still not healed and he needs a few more weeks to recover. It is expected that Mikel Arteta will deploy a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 formation. David Raya will guard the goal. Ben White, new signing Mosquera, Gabriel Magalhães and Takehiro Tomiyasu will form the defensive line. In midfield, Bruno Guimarães, who joined from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window, is very likely to start directly, forming a new midfield triangle with Martin Ødegaard and Lewis Skelly. On the other hand, Manchester City also faces the absence of key players in the first official match of the post - Pep Guardiola era. Rodri is still recovering from back surgery and will not play in this game. Bernardo Silva and John Stones have left the club, so the team's midfield needs to be reorganize
