Players to Watch

William Saliba (Arsenal)

Arsenal are without some key players in the attacking front. William Saliba will take charge of Arsenal’s defence against Man City’s ruthless attack. The French national football team player is very crucial for Arsenal as he can help his side to maintain a clean sheet against the Cityzens. Saliba can make a big difference in the game for the hosts.

Erling Haaland (Man City)

The Norway national football team striker will be focused as Pep Guardiola’s men are gearing up for a clash against Arsenal away from home. Erling Haaland has scored 18 goals in 23 league matches for the Cityzens. He will remain the key player in the visitor’s book. The Norwegian striker can lead his side to a win with his ability to score goals.
