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.

Yes, it's clear, of course it would be a shame if Bukayo Saka couldn't be played in the big match against Manchester City. Because of course, Arsenal also still has a mission to be undefeated at this moment but unfortunately, it seems like Arsenal always has problems regarding key players being injured for important matches like this. But yes, hopefully Arteta can implement a more appropriate strategy to adjust to the shortage of key players like this. Because after all, Arsenal will also be playing at home, and at least it is a necessity for Arsenal to still get points at home. Even though it was only get one point with a draw, of course it would still be a good result for them too.

Right now, Arsenal is definitely a good squad. And I do not think they will have to worry too much about not having one player in the squad available. I think they are going to do fine without him. But if the injury problem gets bigger, like some other players getting injured, it is definitely going to be a problem. We have seen Arsenal facing problems being consistent in the English Premier League, especially towards the end of the season. So injury problem is something they will have to keep a close eye on.

The next match of Arsenal is against Manchester City. Honestly speaking, I do not think Arsenal will be able to win that match. And Arsenal just had a very disappointing performance against Lens in the Champions League. This is one match which they really should have been able to win. At least it was pretty surprising to me.

That's why it is also important to rotate players otherwise this shouldn't have happened. Over the time you also risk of make that player injury prone. With now a good density I actually expect Arteta to rotate players but it seems like he was relying on Sala too much. Well anyway hope Saka injury isn't too serious and will join us soon enough. Now about the games till then I expect Arteta to start with Rowe as he really has that energy on wing like Saka. A draw will be a good result but with Spurs finding their form back again it's not the City we are competing only. So we do need the 3 points and not a draw. A draw will also be a decent outcome but target should be to get the 3 points.
