Arsenal's most recent preseason friendly ended in a 1-1 draw with Como, followed by a 4-3 victory in the penalty shootout. As the Premier League champions of last season, the Gunners topped the league for the first time in 22 years. This summer, they signed Brazilian midfielder Guimarães from Newcastle for £75 million. He made his substitute debut in the game against Como and is likely to start in this match. However, the defense has been severely hit. Starting center-back Saliba will be out for a long time due to a back injury, and full-back Timber is still in recovery. On the other hand, Manchester City came from behind to beat Atlético Madrid 3-1 in their last warm - up game. Marmoush scored twice, and Semenyo provided two assists. Competing as the FA Cup champions, this is Maresca's first official game after replacing the departing Guardiola. The team lost some key players like Bernardo Silva and Stones during the summer transfer window. Midfield linchpin Rodri is still recoveri

Arsenal's defense has suffered significant setbacks. Starting center - back William Saliba aggravated his back injury during the World Cup and will miss the start of the season. Jurrien Timber's groin injury is still not healed and he needs a few more weeks to recover. It is expected that Mikel Arteta will deploy a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 formation. David Raya will guard the goal. Ben White, new signing Mosquera, Gabriel Magalhães and Takehiro Tomiyasu will form the defensive line. In midfield, Bruno Guimarães, who joined from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window, is very likely to start directly, forming a new midfield triangle with Martin Ødegaard and Lewis Skelly. On the other hand, Manchester City also faces the absence of key players in the first official match of the post - Pep Guardiola era. Rodri is still recovering from back surgery and will not play in this game. Bernardo Silva and John Stones have left the club, so the team's midfield needs to be reorganize

Arsenal had an outstanding performance in the Premier League last season. With 26 wins, 8 draws, and 4 losses in 38 rounds, they accumulated 86 points, finishing at the top of the league. They scored 85 goals and conceded 32, with an average of 2.24 goals per game and 0.84 goals conceded per game. Their balanced performance in both attack and defense was remarkable, especially their high - efficiency in getting points at home. On the other hand, Manchester City had 22 wins, 9 draws, and 7 losses in 38 Premier League rounds last season, accumulating 75 points and finishing third. They scored 72 goals and conceded 42, with an average of 1.89 goals per game and 1.11 goals conceded per game. Although they didn't perform as well as Arsenal in the league, they won the FA Cup, and their ability to get points away from home was quite stable. This game is the Community Shield, played on a neutral ground, so there is no home - field or away - field advantage. Arsenal has a slight edge in overall

Burnley has shown significant fluctuations in their recent form. In the Premier League towards the end of last season, they drew 1-1 away against Wolves (0-1 at half - time) with 7-7 corners, indicating some resilience in defense. However, they then lost 0-1 to Arsenal with a 3-3 corner count, revealing the vulnerability of their defense. During the off - season, Burnley faced challenges in several friendlies. They lost 0-1 to Torino (7-0 in corners), drew 2-2 with Espanyol (7-7 in corners), and narrowly lost 3-1 to Cincinnati (5-6 in corners). Statistics show that in their last three friendlies, they conceded 4 goals, averaging 1.33 goals per game. Their defensive consistency needs urgent improvement. At home, Burnley didn't win any games towards the end of last season (1-1 against Wolves and 2-2 against Aston Villa). Their offensive efficiency was also low. They only scored two goals in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa in the last round of the Premier League, but the 2-8 corner disadva

Santander Athletic has returned to La Liga after a 14 - year absence. Last season in the Segunda División, they launched an offensive frenzy, scoring 90 goals while conceding 61. During the summer transfer window, they brought in goalkeeper Aguirrezabala from Athletic Bilbao, defender Pedro Felipe, and veteran Canales. However, they only had one win in pre - season friendlies, and the availability of forward Guliashvili is in doubt. Manager José Alberto is making his La Liga coaching debut. Last season in the Segunda División, Santander Athletic's tactics resembled those of Barcelona, featuring a high possession rate, high - pressing, and rapid transitions. Wingers Vicente (who had 9 goals and 20 assists last season) and Martínez frequently moved inside and switched positions. But the intensity of La Liga is far greater than that of the Segunda División, and the 61 goals conceded last season have exposed the defensive weaknesses. Manager Alberto will likely deploy a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1

The two teams both managed to avoid relegation last season, making this a mid - lower table clash between sides of similar strength. The home team, Espanyol, finished 11th in La Liga last season. Their home - ground performance was average. During the summer training and friendlies, their form fluctuated a lot. The attack relies on the rotation of strikers, and they suffered from a long - term lack of offensive power in the second half of last season. As for the away team, Levante, they narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 16th. They have a strong defensive resilience on the road and are good at low - block counter - attacks. When playing away, the team usually focuses on stabilizing the formation first and doesn't press forward easily. The Spanish side has a strong overall lineup. In their recent 10 matches, they've won 4, drawn 4 and lost 2. They have a solid defense but a relatively weaker attack. When facing opponents, they show great fighting spirit. On the other hand, Levante h
