Arsenal - Manchester City (3:0)

Arsenal brought Alexis Sanchez, City without eight players today

  • Published:

In the Supercup match on London Wembley, Arsenal want to show they've got big plans for the new season with their new reinforcements, while Man City will miss eight starting players because Negredo is injured, and seven got spared

The new season of the English Premier league starts next weekend, and the intro for it is the traditional Supercup match where the current champion Manchester City and this year's FA Cup winner Arsenal will play on the London stadium Wembley. These clubs will have main roles in the championship, and even though this duel has a revue meaning, the final score will definitely mean a lot to both.

Arsenal's drought when it comes to trophies lasted for too long, nine years, but they broke it off by winning a consolation prize, FA Cup. Arsenal want more from the season that comes, they will try to be an equal opponent in the battle for the champion, where they didn't take part for years now. Arsene Wenger continued his almost two decades long mission on the bench of the north London cup, and started hunting big names in the transfer window.

The Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez was brought from Barcelona, the French right back Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle, and the Columbian goalie David Ospina from Nice. The Costarican scorer Jole Campbell was brought back from the lending to the Olympiacos. This is a poker of new aces Wenger can rely on now, but there is a big chance some other big name could land on Emirates by the end of August.

From those who left the club, there's the center back Vermaelen, the biggest loss, then the defender Sagna, the midfielder Kallstrom and the forward Bendtner, but the last three were written off and Wenger is convinced his team is even stronger with the new players he brought. No need to speculate about the game style, Wenger's combinations are well known, and it remains to be seen how many classic center forwards will start the matches, that is, which tactic formation will prevail.

The French expert combined the last year's 4-2-3-1 and the classic 4-4-2 with Giroud and Sanchez as center forwards  during the preparation period, and something similar is expected in the numerous battles Arsenal will partake on all fronts.

- Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea scored lots of goals against us last season, and it bothers us, but I think we're starting the new season completely ready and self-confident. We created lots of chances in the preparation period, that boosts my optimism and I believe we'll show our real face on Wembley today already, and start an even fight against Manchester City - Arsene Wenger said. The wing forward Theo Walcott is injured, and is expected to come back by the end of September. Giroud won't play because he's not fully ready, and the goalie Ospina has a minor injury.

- I see this match as the beginning of Premiership, and we'll play it seriously, with the clear desire to defeat Man City. Wins like that always boost self-confidence - the Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey said.

Manchester City had both the luck and the skill and deservedly got the title, and the experienced Manuel Pellegrini estimated he didn't have to do big changes in the lineup this summer.

The key was to keep the main players, which wasn't much of a problem for the club run by the rich Arab sheikhs (the only limitation is financial limits because of fair-play), and at the same time, the team were reinforced by the defensive midfielder Fernando Reges from Porto, and the experienced Frank Lampard from Chelsea, the goalie Caballero from Malaga and the defender Sagna from Arsenal.

The goalie Pantilimon, the center back Lescott and the midfielder Rodwell leaving City isn't a big handicap, and they're convinced on Etihad that they have a champion team again, but also a much better performance in the Champions League, which is one of their priorities so they'd become a really big club, which is denied to them by many.

Pellegrini will stay loyal to his favorite 4-4-2 formation, even though he does modify it when needed, depending on who's on the other side if the field.

- I think both clubs have problems with their players' form, they played the World Cup, but I have no doubts about both of us wanting celebrate today. So, we'll start this duel on Wembley full force - Pellegrini said. He's lost the forward Alvaro Negredo for a few months due to a major injury, and the defender Sagna is spared because their opponent is his ex club, as well as six other players who only joined the practices on Monday (Martin Demichelis, Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta, Fernandinho, Sergio Agüero, Frank Lampard).

- Negredo is heavily injured, and seven of our players are still not ready enough for a match like this one. But, we have enough of good solutions to fulfill our plans on the field - Pellegrini revealed.
