I have said, Manchester City will not depend on one player and their victory or defeat will not depend on one player either.
They have Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, Kovacic, Nunes as midfielders, while Erling Haaland is also ready for the match. Pep Guardiola doesn't have many shortcomings even without De Bruyne and Ederson, but if those two players are there then of course Pep Guardiola has many complete options in his squad.
Arsenal are not favorites, but they have a chance. Everyone also knows that Manchester City is the favorite, but considering that Arsenal has big ambitions to maintain the top position in the standings, the match will be very high-tension.
Some people think that De Bruyne is the main figure in managing the Manchester City game and they also compared when De Bruyne was absent in a few weeks then Manchester City's performance became worse and even came out of the Top 3 well maybe this is what they think without De Bruyne, Manchester City is not perfect. I also admit that Manchester City has many alternative players but specifically for Bruyne, it does not seem to have an alternative this player is very much needed, especially in important matches.
The return of Manchester City's mainstay player, Kevin De Bruney, is a breath of fresh air for the Manchester City squad because De Bruney was the key to most of Manchester City's wins in previous league matches and now Kevin De Bruney is ready to return to defend and support his team against Arsenal.
Having missed several matches due to injury, it turned out to have had a big impact on Manchester City's defensive strength. Yes, while the top players are absent, they don't play in some matches. Manchester City played very badly and it is true what you say, in fact there are also many of the best players from Manchester. City, but it was Kevin De Bruney who really dominated his playing ability and succeeded in winning for Manchester City in every match.
