At 18 o'clock Lithuanian time, the most anticipated match of the new season of the English Premier League will be played.
At the Emirates Stadium, London's Arsenal clashed with the Manchester City team. Impressively, in the past season, the "citizens" disappointed the "Gunners" fans - taking a victory of 2:0 back to London.
For the Arsenal team, the start of this Premier League season was unusual - for the first time in 22 years, Arsene Wenger did not stand by the bench. Unai Emery, who started his career with the North London team, did not succeed triumphantly - the "Gunners" struggled throughout the match.
The wait for the first goal did not take long - in the 14th minute, Raheem Sterling made a great move and directed the ball into Petr Cech's goal through a few defenders.
During the remaining first half, no more goals were scored, but Arsenal even without pressure from the opponents faced defensive issues.
In the second half, Bernardo Silva secured the victory - he made a powerful shot after a pass from Benjamin Mendy, leaving no hopes for P. Cech, and any intrigue in these matches was ended.
Both sides had opportunities later on, but the Emirates spectators did not see more goals and left the stadium disappointed.
From the first minutes, Kevin De Bruyne did not participate in the match for the City, and David Silva was not even registered for the game.
