A new look Arsenal team begins its post-Wenger era by taking on defending champions Manchester City who are fresh on the back of a Community Shield win last week. New head coach Unai Emry has been quite active in the transfer market bringing on a host of players. The former PSG manager is known to get the best out of budgetary constraints having guided Sevilla to multiple European honours despite very little spending. While his technical acumen is on par with the best in the business, the English Premier League is altogether a different proposition for any manager. EPL 2018–19: Jan Vertonghen’s Header During Newcastle vs Tottenham Crossed the Line by Just 9mm.

The clash could see the marquee signings from both sides feature for their respective teams. Pep Guardiola snapped up Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City in the summer and he will start out wide. Defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos whose experience will be vital for Arsenal will start in the central defence along with Mustafi. He was brilliant for BVB in Germany and with him the absence of Laurent Koscielny, who is a long-term absentee with an Achilles trouble. Lucas Torreira moved to Arsenal from Sampdoria in a 26.4 m deal and will be entrusted with the role of marking David Silva.

Manchester City will welcome back Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne after both were passed fit for the game. Benjamin Mendy, a World Cup winner with France will look to keep injuries away as he looks to get a string of games under his belt. Arsenal have an injury concern in the fullback position with Nacho Monreal, Sead Kolasinac and Laurent Koscielny all out and Unai Emry might have to turn to Danny Welbeck to fill the void left by the trio. The England international has been used as a winger by Arsene Wenger in the past and it will be interesting to know to see how he fits into the new role. Manchester City, Winners of EPL 2017/18, Receive Special WWE Championship Belt From Triple H.

The two managers are known for their attacking play and the likes of Sergio Aguero and Pierre Aubameyang could hugely benefit from this. Mesut Ozil and David Silva will be the two playmakers on the pitch and both know if they can get the balls quickly to the forward areas, it opens up opportunities for the strikers. Alexander Lazarette who had lost his way towards the end of last season has found a new lease of life under a new management and will most likely start in the second striker role.
