Arsenal's build-up to Friday's league opener against Coventry is dominated by reflection on Sunday's Community Shield rout rather than fresh transfer news. Martin Ødegaard has again spoken glowingly of the impact made by Bruno Guimarães and Christos Tzolis, telling the Guardian the squad are "hungry" to defend the title and compete on multiple fronts, while the New York Times' own piece frames the captain as back to his sharpest form after the 3-0 win over City. Sky Sports, meanwhile, notes Enzo Maresca's problems at City run deeper than a missing midfield after that chastening defeat.
Off the pitch, the club have confirmed David Horseman as the new under-21s head coach, replacing Max Porter; Horseman spent last season overseeing the under-19s in the Youth League and says he is excited to get started, with his first game away at Barnet. Winger Ismeal Kabia has joined St Mirren on loan, having already featured for his new club. The Premier League has rearranged three October fixtures for TV, with the Leeds home game and trips to Nottingham Forest and Liverpool all given new kick-off times. Arsenal have also extended their partnership with Google Pixel.
