Manchester City take on the visitors Arsenal on the FA Supercup. The match will be played on Sunday, August 6th at Wembley Stadium (London).
Manchester City have finally completed the treble. The Citizens managed to secure the UEFA Champions League title in early summer, with Rodri's goal being the only one in the final against Inter. Additionally, victories in both the Premier League and domestic cup competitions are no longer surprising. Interestingly, Guardiola has not taken advantage of the situation to push for more extravagant spending by the owners. Essentially, they only acquired Kovacic, participating in Chelsea's sale. This is despite the departures of not only Benjamin Mendy, who has been out of the squad for two years due to rape allegations, but also Mahrez and Gundogan. Furthermore, Bernardo Silva and particularly Walker may still leave, as Bayern Munich has expressed interest in the latter.

Arsenal are spending the most money across all of Europe. In the previous season, the Gunners led the Premier League for a long time. However, as in the past, they stumbled towards the end of the season, nullifying their advantage over the favorite with a series of setbacks. Nevertheless, finishing in 2nd place in the Premier League was an achievement for the London-based club, which, given its history and ambitions, had long been finishing outside the top 4 in the final table. This primarily meant a long-awaited return to the Champions League, and it seems that under this guise, they spent tens of millions on players like Timber and Havertz, while a record-breaking £120 million was spent on Rice.
Despite the title race, the Red and Whites couldn't compete in head-to-head matches. Guardiola's team defeated his former assistant 3-1 and 4-1. The Citizens will be the favorites in this match as well. However, the UEFA Super Cup has a specific status, so we will go with the total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
