Mikel Arteta believes new Premier League managers like Enzo Maresca can help raise Arsenal's level. Arteta and Maresca will face off in the Community Shield, with Arteta praising Maresca as someone who can do an 'unbelievable job' replacing Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Arteta emphasized that the league's coaching instability means Arsenal must avoid complacency despite being favorites.

He stated, 'We know this league is full of incredible managers... that will elevate our level and my level for sure.' Arteta also stressed he doesn't want stability, but constant improvement: 'I want to be better and more ambitious.' Arsenal will make a late fitness decision on Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, while summer signings Bruno Guimarães and Christos Tzolis are set for their debuts. Arteta acknowledged City remain a key challenger despite Guardiola's departure, adding, 'We will have a lot of challengers.'.
