Arsenal vs Man City: We know what to do to win — Arteta says ahead of Community Shield tie

As the new football season is about to commence, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has said his side are aware of what to do to get a win in Sunday’s Community Shield clash against treble winners, Manchester City.

The Gunners will be battling against the league champions with memories of how they capitulated to the Citizens in the run-in of the title race last season.

However, Arteta, full of praises for the Manchester City side, fancied his team’s chances against the Blue side of Manchester.

The Spanish coach said his team are aware of exactly what to do for victory on Sunday, August 6, in Wembley.

“We’re very excited to play a final and have the opportunity to win a trophy against a team that is the team to beat. They were the best team in Europe last season, and we know what the standards and are how we need to win the game, but we’re very excited.

“They’ve shown their consistency over the years and they merit respect from everybody for what they’ve done. If you want to challenge for that championship you know the total points that you’re going to be needing and that’s unheard of in this league for the last 100 years. So that’s the standard and if you want to be there, you know what you have to do.”
