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.
This is going to be an intense match and I don’t think it’ll be an easy one to decide who will win in this match by weekend. Manchester City been beating by wolves is not an opportunity for Arsenal to prevail against them easily, their loss to wolves could be a booster to them to get back to their winning ways again after a sad weekend outing last week. Arsenal will also be looking forward to keep up or close the point gap between them and Manchester City, so the my will not also relent in this match and will want to get the best out of it too.
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.
Saka’s injury was a blow to Arsenal on their champions league match yesterday with Lens but it happens in football, they just need to have a plan B mapped out that will give them an edge over Manchester City in their weekend fixture against them. Saka has been an over whole dependent player to Arsenal which is not suppose to be so, sometimes he needs to be benched to rest, playing all the matches always leads to fatigue which has now caused him an injury at the expense of the team when they needed him the most in this weekend match. I hope their plan B works out for them.
You don’t need to compare David Raya to Onana base on their performance and wants Ramsdale to keep ahead of him because of last match result. At least David Raya performance this season on goals conceded is better off than that of Onana. Whether Ramsdale or David Raya, they really need to win this match.
