Arsenal will be playing hosts to Man City this weekend and honestly I'm not hoping on Arteta and his boys to win the game. Last week saw Man City being humiliated by a club no one expected to pull it off, Wolves and they are already seeing red. Like literally because they'd be planning on settling the scores with Arsenal who beat them to taking the community shield.
Another fear that the Gunners might not be able to win against Man City is that Saka is out injured and one might argue that they can do fine without the English winger but we all saw how demoralized they were in yesterday's game after Saka got plagued by an Achilles heel injury that has been bothering him since the end of the 2022/23 season and this will see him missing the top of the table encounter with Man City.
The game will be a tough one and I'm hoping Arteta uses Ramsdale instead of David Raya because the Spaniard was one of the reasons Lens were able to get their first goal, what with him trying to act like he's Onana.
I also don't expect Arsenal to win in that match because in fact Manchester City will try their best to avoid losing in a two-match losing streak. Losing to Wolves was surprising, so Pep Guardiola will try to do something that can give his team more confidence to stay at the top of the standings.
I agree Arsenal and Arteta would probably be better prepared after their defeat against Lens in the Champions League. Losing Saka will have an impact on Arsenal's performance, but Arteta actually still has options for his attack line. But before that match, I was curious about how Manchester City would form up against Leipzig today in the Champions League. I'm happy to say Manchester City can win this match and I also want to see Haaland score.
