Arsenal vs Man City: Community Shield prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h, odds today

Arsenal and Manchester City will kick off a new season with the traditional curtain raiser that is the Community Shield at Wembley today.

With City having won the treble last season, it is up to the Gunners to stop them from starting another campaign with silverware as Mikel Arteta looks to go again in the Premier League title race.

Since finishing second last time out, Arsenal have embarked on an ambitious recruitment drive in a bid to close the gap.
