Manchester City and Arsenal will face off in the preseason on Saturday.
Manchester City has been relatively quiet this offseason with no major storylines or rumors.
Meanwhile, Arsenal has been mired in drama throughout the last few weeks. The club has made a number of attempts to land Luis Suarez, three to be exact, and has been denied every time by Liverpool. Suarez has been vocal with the media about his discontent with the team and even claimed his club had promised to let him go if a 40 million pound offer was made.
However, the club has denied making any such promise, and has repeated that it will not sell its best player to a local rival.
Regardless, Arsenal remains hopeful that a deal can still be struck.
"That is the story between Suarez and Liverpool and I don't know what has been said, what has been promised and what has been written, and only Suarez and Liverpool that can decide that. It's nothing to do with us. We have been told that the player wants to leave Liverpool and that's why we've acted," said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
The club hopes that its performance against Manchester City is an improvement over its display in the Emirates Cup last weekend. During its two matches Arsenal drew with Napoli and lost against Galatasaray at home.
Prediction: Manchester City is expected to make huge strides this season. Look for them to shock Manchester City in a 2-0 win.
Start Time: 10 a.m. EST
The match will not be broadcast on TV in the USA.
