Mikel Arteta said title-chasing Arsenal can take confidence from their Community Shield win over Manchester City as the Gunners face the Premier League champions on Sunday.
Arsenal have not beaten City in the league since 2015, but the Gunners boss said their August victory on penalties in the Community Shield — the annual curtain-raiser to the season — had given his team belief.
Arsenal led the Premier League for long stretches last season but faltered in the final furlong as City overtook them to claim their third consecutive title. Arteta said he was determined to look forward, rather than back at Arsenal’s poor league record against City. “I’m sure that every year we have new tools and new players that can do different things, but obviously we know each other and we expect something from each other,” he said.
