Manchester City, led by Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, enters the match after losing (1-2) to Atletico Madrid in its last friendly match.

While Arsenal enters the match, led by Spanish coach Mikel Arteta, after retaining the Emirates Cup friendly title after its victory over Monaco.

Arsenal is seeking to win this championship title, especially since the team’s results last season exceeded all expectations. Where he topped the English Premier League for 248 days, but in the end he failed to achieve the title.

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta wants to win the title to confirm that his team will be a fierce competitor for the league title this season.

Arteta said in his statements during the press conference for the match: “I am very excited to play a final match, and to win a title against one of the major teams.”

Arteta praised Manchester City, and said: “Manchester City was the best team in Europe last season, and we know the criteria, and what we need to win the match.”

Arsenal misses the efforts of Brazilian international striker Gabriel Jesus after he underwent knee surgery last Wednesday, and Edward Nikitah is expected to lead the team’s attack.

Despite Arsenal’s lack of one of its most important offensive weapons, Arteta reassured the condition of Bukayo Saka, who did not participate in the last Monaco match, as he confirmed that he was fine and would be ready for the match.
