Arsenal will travel to the North-west to face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday in a Premier League top-of-the-table battle. Although winning that game gives the Gunners a better chance of winning the league, William Saliba has warned the Gooners not to get ahead of themselves; winning the league will require more than just beating City.
rsenal and the reigning champions drew 0-0 in their away game against City during the PL run-in last season. Arsenal’s critics (after that stalemate with City) claimed that they lost the title fight, because they played for a draw instead of a win, which would have given them three points and won them the league by one point.
Well, on Sunday, the Gunners have a chance to defy the sceptics and defeat City at the Etihad Stadium, something they haven’t done in nine years.
Even with the absences of Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should have a stronger squad for this weekend’s heavyweight match. Hopefully the Citizens will be without Kevin De Bruyne due to injury.
