Saka is one of the crucial player, yes but we don't rely on him too much like we used to few seasons back. I feel that we have got a good density around the squad and I think we still have lot of capable players in the team that can do the job what Saka does. Yeah it's a really a bad news for Gunners but I still won't pick City win for sure here. Arteta knows how important this game is and will try to pick the best team. It's a very important fixture for us against the top contender for the title race.
Gunners are in good shape, contending for EPL League title last season and also having one of the credible performances this season for the purpose to push the team to higher spots. Mikel Arteta have alot of work to handle, he looked more worried about his key player who's under probability of starting against Manchester City. Bukayo Saka picks up an injury against Lens in UEFA Champions League, there's doubt if he would return to training for weekend game against Manchester City. Mikel Arteta would sort out replacements for his winger and probably suits in the best strategy against Pep Guardiola men.
I think that gunners shall also learn from what happened last season. It's too early to say that if arsenal was in the right way to be a strongest contender to win EPL this season. The club was getting perfect result last season but city was winning the title.
We shall wait the competition to reach the middle of season. We will able to determine which club that will be potentially winning the title this season. I don't even wanna try to talk about the possibility caused by bookies were still favoring manchester city to win the title again. The competition is still going on and arsenal will have busy schedules that may also affect the performance from the club. I have no problem with it at all.
Let's see what's happening with this meriam london till the middle of season. I think that city will be making its comeback soon. Arsenal and totenham still unbeatable but it doesn't mean these clubs have biggest chance to win the trophy.
