Arsenal vs Manchester City live: Latest updates from the Community ShieldGood afternoon and welcome to our live blog of The Traditional Curtain Raiser TM. It’s the League Champions from last season against... well, it would have been the FA Cup winners but as we of course all know, Manchester City won that as well, so it’s the League runners-up, Arsenal, who will contest this friendly-ish fixture. The kick off at Wembley will be at 4pm. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has expressed his concern about the demands on players in light of changes such as an expanded Club World Cup and more time being added on in games. After winning the Champions League to complete their treble last term, City will compete in December’s Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia - what is planned to be the final edition featuring seven teams, with the next a 32-side competition taking place in the United States in the summer of 2025. Meanwhile, the significant increase in time added on seen at last year’s World Cup in Qatar, designed to tackle timewasting, is something set to apply to Premier League matches this season.

The trouble is Man City, in all their sportswashing glory, won both last season. They can’t play themselves, so Arsenal, the Premier League runners up are stepping into the void. For a while last season it looked as if Arsenal were going to push Manchester City all the way, but the Gunners tired as the season went on and just ran out of gas in the finishing straight. This season may be different. The flagship signing of the summer is Declan Rice, the England midfielder Arsenal spent a reported £105 million on was accompanied by Chelsea’s Kai Havertz. Arsenal may just have a little more depth in key areas as they look to go one better and bring home the Premier League title for the first time in 20 years.

Speaking ahead of his side opening their 2023-24 campaign with the Community Shield clash against Arsenal, Guardiola said: “I know at the end of next season, we are going to make a (Club) World Cup in the United States after finishing the season, two or three more weeks. That means the holidays will be 15 days or maybe three weeks. “I think it doesn’t exist already, pre-seasons. The problem is here (touching his head) - exhausted. Look already how many players are injured in pre-season, in bad conditions, humidity, hot, the pitches are not really good, especially in the States. “It is what it is, so we have to adapt, adjust - but it is not normal.
