Mikel Arteta is ready to for the upcoming Arsenal vs Man City game. The two Premier League giants will go head-to-head in the game week 5. The Sky Blues will be hosting the Gunners for the first time this season. Last time the two clashed at the Etihad, we saw a goalless draw. Both teams were unable to find the back of the net. In fact, the Gunners won against the Citizens in the reverse fixture. Even though early on in the season, this could easily be a vital game for both the sides. The London Reds have already had a very tough week. They won against Tottenham away from home. Then, they earned a point against Atalanta in the UCL. Now, they will be playing away to the Premier League champions.
Mikel Arteta backs his team to win
Without a doubt, Arsenal will face a tough challenge against Man City. The Sky Blues have already scored 11 times this season. More importantly, Erling Haaland has scored 9 out of those 11. So, keeping him quiet will be key for the Gunners. As per themirror, Arteta thinks Gabriel and William Saliba will be able to get the job done. The duo have been impressive at the back. Then, they also have new signing Riccardo Calafiori who can be quick. So, we will be treated to a great contest no doubt.
Will Arsenal win against Man City?
The Gunners will have a good chance to cause an upset. Last season, they were just holding back and trying to prevent the Sky Blues from scoring. They were not really able to create clear chances for themselves. Rodri even spoke of the same that the Gunners were aiming to draw instead of trying to win. But, Mikel Arteta has assured that Arsenal will be aiming to win against Man City. If the Gunners pull it off, they will top the league table. If not, the Sky Blues will extend their lead at the summit.
