2 bets for me for community shield...
arsenal to lift a trophy @ 2.20 ...1u
BTTS and arsenal to win @ 5.25 ....1u
Arsenal missing - Wallcott, Podolski, Mertesacker, Ozil...and of course... Diaby
congrats Diaby for an other line in Guinness world record book
City missing - Aguero, Negredo, Lampard, Fernandinho, Kompany, Demichelis, Zabaleta and Sagna ...
some sites saying kompany and sagna will play, but how much i understood from pelegrini, then all WC players besides toure and jeko won`t be for a game and sagna won`t play against former club... if they play that`s significantly stronger back line, but without them man city back 4 is too thin... as well as in midfield besides of toure, debut will be handed to fernando, what should take time to adjust and between players and to english style. up front is ok, silva , nasri , jovetic , jeko... speed , creativity , finishing...
arsenal the same squad as at emirates cup - diaby
it`s bit dangerous to relay my bet on sanogo up front, as most likely sanogo to start, but maybe he found confidence after hat trick, plus there is sanchez now and cambell . arseanl back 4 should do ok here, they have gibbs . koschelny, chambers and debuchy .. midfield is packed for arsenal and on a field and on a bench for later subs ...
man city has done more serious pre season training with the same bunch then arsenal, but same bunch couldn`t do half strength liverpool and not that strong olimpiacos, don`t see them outplaying arsenal either... draw is likely , that`s why i have 2 bets, but i think arsenal win outscore city in this one... 2 - 1
