Battle! Arsenal vs Manchester City: Player-by-player comparison of the Community Shield opponents

Centre-back

Arsenal: Laurent Koscielny

Manchester City: Martin Demichelis

Finally an Arsenal player gets the nod, with Laurent Koscielny certainly a superior option to veteran Argentine centre-back Martin Demichelis for City. Although Demichelis improved as last season went on, Koscielny has become one of the finest defenders in the Premier League in recent years and deserves his place here.

Vote: Koscielny
