Friday’s match between Arsenal and Manchester City highlights yet another day filled with football action this summer.
Arsenal vs Manchester City is the fixture that virtually ended the Citizens’ English Premier League hopes last season. Arteta’s sublime long range strike and Mario Balotelli's avoidable sending off inflicted agony on Roberto Mancini and his men. At the top of the table, the Red Devils of Manchester United looked set to run away with the 2011/12 EPL title.

However, destiny saw the Citizens make a remarkable comeback to be crowned English champions. Captain Vincent Kompany played a vital role for Manchester City en route to glory.

The Belgian defender recently put pen to paper for a six-year contract. Meanwhile, business on the transfer market continues for Manchester City like for Arsenal.

The Gunners are looking to build a strong squad ahead of the new football season. The club signed Lucas Podolski and Olivier Giroud earlier this summer but the likely departure of Robin van Persie means Arsene Wenger must once again prove his team can compete against the best in Europe.

The Frenchman will be looking to gun down English Premier League titleholders Manchester City on Friday. Although it is only a friendly, the outcome of this match will surely have a huge impact on both side’s momentum and squad decisions.
