We are just two days away from the Community Shield match-up against Premier League champions, Liverpool. With training only starting on Saturday, and with just one preseason match to the Gunners credit, who will the boss put on the pitch to start the game on Saturday?
Here was his starting XI v MK Dons on Tuesday…
Leno
Soares, Saliba, Holding, Tierney
Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka
Saka, Aubameyang, Nketiah
Now, here’s a comment from Mikel Arteta on whether we will see William Saliba and/or Willian on Saturday…
“I don’t know. We’ll make the decision tomorrow on who is going to play and who is going to be involved, but for sure they’re going to see our signings playing a lot of minutes this season. So it’s not a hurry to see them in one game. I know they will be excited and desperate to see them but they will see plenty of them this year.”
Personally, I think we will see them both in the starting XI on Saturday. With that said here are my projections for the 2020 Community Sheild…
Arsenal’s starting XI…
Martinez
Bellerin, Saliba, Luiz, Tierney
Saka, Willian, Xhaka
Aubameyang, Nketiah, Pepe
(My only question mark would be Martinez, since he just got out of a travel mandated quarantine.)
Final score…
ARSENAL 3 – Liverpool 2
COYG!

One of my all-time Arsenal players, Olivier Giroud, returns to Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. This time as a player for the competition, Lille. Giroud scored 105 goals in 253 appearances for the Gunners.
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard on Man City’s punishment. “In terms of how I feel, I potentially could be affected if you like, I wouldn’t want individual players to give stuff back, that wouldn’t be right. But the club, they have to be stripped.”
