Manchester United will be hosting Newcastle United in the early kick-off on Saturday. Manchester United has had a good start this season, winning both their first games; however, Louis Van Gaal will be looking at stepping up the results by getting more goals against Newcastle. Newcastle on the other hand is working at rebuilding their team back to the topflight team they used to be; unless Steve McLaren can get his Newcastle side to shut out United, which looks unlikely this match is possibly a Manchester United victory.

Arsenal Wins the Community Shield

The start of the English Football League season commenced with the Community Shield match between Arsenal the FA Cup Champions and Chelsea the League Champions. Arsenal claimed the title with a magnificent strike from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

This victory will always be recalled as the first victory by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger over his archrival Jose Mourinho the Chelsea manager in 14 games; we hope this beginning of the reign of Wenger over Mourinho.

 

Other highlights of the encounter involved the lack of sportsmanship between both managers at the end of the game. Jose Mourinho, came out to congratulate the Arsenal team, giving all the Arsenal players a good handshake and great hug to Chelsea former goalkeeper Petr Cech; however, both Mourinho and Wenger inevitably avoided any form of bodily contact. It will be recalled that the two men have a long and acrimonious history of public sniping, with Mourinho infamously labelling Wenger a "voyeur" and specialist in failure" across his two spells at Chelsea and the Arsenal boss pushing his rival on the touchline during a Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge last season.
