Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky says it is "interesting" seeing so many former teammates at Manchester City.
Bacary Sagna is the latest to quit Arsenal for today's Community Shield opponents.
"Bacary Sagna is another one who left us for Man City so it will be kind of strange to see these boys," said Rosicky.
"I played with Sagna for six or seven years and now you play against him - it's always very interesting.
"We're looking forward to the game because it's a big game. I hope the fans and everyone will get a good preview before the league starts."
