As we head into the new season, Mikel Arteta feels that Manchester City will once again be the team to beat if we’re to claim silverware in 2023/24.
Pep Guardiola’s team swept the board last season by claiming the Treble, and they’ll be looking for their first taste of Community Shield glory since 2019 at our expense at Wembley on Sunday.
On the flip-side, it’s a first chance for us to try to extract a psychological blow on our opponents this term, and Mikel is hoping that a victory for a trophy will help prove that we’ve made advancements since the end of last season when we came so close to clinching the ultimate prize.
