Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta is eyeing revenge following the 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield.

The Gunners hammered Manuel Pellegrini's side at Wembley, and City travel to the Emirates on Saturday in the Premier League.

Zabaleta told reporters: "[The Community Shield] was the first game of the campaign and the squad were not all back from the summer or were 100% fit.

"We are much stronger than we were a month ago and we will continue to improve and get back into our stride as each game goes by."

City go into the tie at the Emirates following a 1-0 defeat against Stoke City at the Etihad last Saturday.
