Game Preview
The current defending champions of the English Premier League, Manchester City, will go to London’s Emirates Stadium on Sunday, October 8th to take on Arsenal with the goal of getting back to a victory in the top division. Manchester City will head to North London to seek retribution, particularly since the Gunners defeated the Citizens in the Community Shield competition just before the season began.
How much a week can alter things. When Manchester City lost consecutive games to Wolves in the EPL and Newcastle during the Carabao Cup, some referred to it as the teams being in a crisis. But the situation has improved as a result of a convincing 3-1 triumph against RB Leipzig during the Champions League and the comeback of two first-team mainstays in Bernardo Silva and John Stones.
Rodri is out of action for the treble-winning team at the Emirates Stadium because he completes a three-game suspension in this game. The 27-year-old, incredibly crucial Spain midfielder was dismissed for placing his hands on Nottingham Forest striker Morgan Gibbs-White’s neck during a 2-0 victory a month ago.
The situation is entirely different for the Gunners, who were in fantastic shape following their sweeping 4-0 thrashing of Bournemouth and currently holding 3rd place in the EPL just 1 point away from Man City. But on Tuesday during the Champions League match, they lost 2-1 to French opposition Lens after blowing a one-goal lead.
Bukayo Saka departed the field early due to an injury which Mikel Arteta described as not looking good, which doesn’t sound good for the team. The England international has become questionable for Sunday’s game and will probably get a scan to see how serious the issue is. Large-scale signing Declan Rice is back in the starting lineup after being hurt and missing the 4-0 victory against Bournemouth.
