Kevin De Bruyne Sounds Premier League Title Warning to Arsenal After Community Shield Loss

• Arsenal beat Manchester City 4-1 in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on Sunday
• Kevin De Bruyne missed City's first penalty during the shootout before Rodri missed as well
• De Bruyne is unfazed and has sent a title warning to the Gunners after the game

Manchester City players are moving on quickly from the Community Shield loss to Arsenal and are focused on their Premier League opener against Burnley.

Kevin De Bruyne, who missed City's first penalty in the shootout, issued a note of warning to Arsenal after the game, following both teams battling it out for the title last season.

He came off the bench to assist Cole Palmer to break the deadlock, but the Cityzens could not add a second to seal the victory, and Arsenal equalised late in the game through Leandro Trossard.

The former Chelsea star recovered ahead of schedule after suffering a hamstring injury that forced him out of the UEFA Champions League final in the 33rd minute. Evening Standard reported that the club feared he could miss the start of the new season.

KDB sends message to Arsenal

The Belgian walked into the media area after the game and was asked if he is worried about the London club being their main challenger next season, but his response was chilling.

"No, it's about eight or nine teams. So I'm not worried about them alone; we just do what we have to do," he told reporters after the game, via Hayters TV.

City completed a double over Mikel Arteta's men last season, a 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium followed by a dominant 4-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium; KDB scored in both games.

Pep Guardiola could lead the Cityzens to a historic fourth straight consecutive English top-flight title next season despite losing some important players in the squad who he is yet to adequately replace, most notably Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez.

Carragher, Neville predict PL winner

Sports Brief reported on two English pundits predicting the Premier League winner next season, and both agreed on Pep Guardiola's men winning their fourth consecutive title.

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville struggle to agree on some topics. Still, it was an easy decision for both to pick City while predicting top-four finishes for their former clubs, Liverpool and Manchester United, respectively.
