Arsenal will play another game in the upcoming 2023/24 season as a result of Manchester City's win over Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

Pep Guardiola's side took one step closer to a historic treble with a 2-1 win over their local rivals at Wembley on Saturday.

Ilkay Gundogan was on the scoresheet after just 12 seconds, lashing home a sensational volley which left David De Gea rooted to the spot.

The Red Devils fought their way back, though, with Bruno Fernandes converting a controversial penalty from the spot.

However, Gundogan wasn't finished yet, as he produced another volley, this time off his left boot, which beat De Gea for the second time.

City face Inter Mian next in the Champions League final as Guardiola looks to complete the treble.

However, they might be able to add further silverware before the new Premier League season has even begun with a win over Arsenal.

Arsenal to play extra game in 2023/24

Arsenal will face City in in the 2023/24 Community Shield, which is widely recognised as the curtain-raiser for the upcoming campaign.

The contest is usually played between the winner of the previous season's Premier League and FA Cup, but the format has changed since the fixture was introduced in 1908.

The match is played between the winner of the previous season's Premier League and FA Cup, although the format has changed since the game was founded in 1908.

Due to the fact City have won both competitions, the FA decided to include the Premier League's runner-up instead, which in this case is Arsenal.

The match gives Mikel Arteta the opportunity to win his second Community Shield with a victory over his former employers ahead of what Gunners fans will hope will be a trophy-laden campaign.
