CM) Mikel Arteta – The newly named full-time Arsenal captain looked solid at Wembley and his calm head will be important to allow the creativity around him to flourish.
CM) Jack Wilshere – Played well enough in the Community Shield to suggest that he deserves to start against Crystal Palace in what will be a huge season for Wilshere.
ACM) Aaron Ramsey – Playing in a slightly more advanced role will be Aaron Ramsey, who is one of the Gunners’ key goal threats and scored against City at Wembley.
