One way or another Arsenal will get clarity on what their start to next season looks like following the conclusion of Manchester City vs Manchester United in the FA Cup final.
After securing a top-two finish in the Premier League this term, the Gunners are in line to take part in the 2023/24 season curtain-raiser; otherwise known as the Community Shield against City who are once again the reigning champions of England - however, that's only on one condition.
As explained by the FA, this annual fixture - which is usually contested at Wembley Stadium - is between the champions of the previous Premier League season and the holders of the FA Cup. Therefore if Man United emerge victorious on Saturday afternoon then the two rivals will meet again in a rematch in August.
