The title match in England: this Wednesday evening, the first two in the Premier League standings face off. Manchester City host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium with the Citizens five points behind and two games less to play. While Nathan Ake (hamstrings) is expected to miss this clash for City, William Saliba (back), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) will be absent for the Gunners. If the stakes of this clash are enormous for both teams, the Skyblues can strike a blow by imposing themselves this evening at the leader. Indeed, Bernardo Silva’s teammates could come back two lengths away. Before the game, Pep Guardiola paid tribute in a press conference to his former assistant Mikel Arteta, now Arsenal manager: “I think the development of the club since Mikel took over is obvious. When you talk about manager, I’m a coach, a football coach, not a manager. But I feel that Mikel has changed the attitude of the club. He has support from the hierarchy of the club and that’s why the success is here.”
For the Gunners, Bukayo Sako and his partners could push Manchester City to eight points if they win tonight. At a press conference, Mikel Arteta wanted to play down the clash against Manchester City: “We knew we had to go to the Etihad, it will be difficult, but will that decide the season? No”, said declared the Basque technician. “If we win tomorrow, we won’t have won the league. It will probably change the percentage, but five games in this league is still very tricky.” After three draws in the last three games, the Arsenal manager highlighted his players’ fine performance in the last game against Southampton: “The players reacted well against Southampton, they defend each other, they really want to win. But they have to be perfect because that’s what is asked of them at this time of the season.”
