I think they have enough players still to cover up for the injured player so not a big worry for Arteta if you ask me. Lot of players are very adaptable to other positions so Arteta has a very good set of options to choose from. But I feel it's better to develop other players as well by giving them chances. That way they can also help in matches in a better way and create a strong team.

I don't consider Ten Hag a failure this season, but of course some people who are angry at Manchester United's bad results will still consider Ten Hag a failure. I agree that Ten Hag failed to start this 2023-2024 season with a good and consistent start, but all of them have to admit that player injuries have had a big impact on the game.

I tend to hope Ten Hag isn't sacked so soon, meaning he'll have to get more support for a longer stay at Manchester United. Ten Hag has the ability to make Manchester United compete at the top, but whether he is successful or not really depends on the performance of the players throughout the season.

This is a very difficult situation for Erik Ten Hag because many Manchester United players have suffered injuries so it has a big impact on their performance, but whatever the problem, now the one who must be responsible for Manchester United's poor performance is Erik Ten Hag and it is very natural that he is now starting to be doubted. and even many fans are starting to urge Erik Ten Hag to be fired, I think that's normal, so far Erik Ten Hag seems to have failed in managing the Manchester United team.

Unfortunately, there is a big possibility that one of the players Arteta relies on will be absent from this week's match. Buyako Saka, looks like he will be absent until 9 October. So, it is very likely that he will be absent when Arsenal plays City. It would be a shame if Saka could only sit and watch this match outside the field. however, Arteta still has options instead. Arteta could rotate players, or he will have the option of other players, such as Reiss Nelson and others.
In essence, Arteta has the option to prepare his team when they host City at the Emirates Stadium this week. But, we'll see, maybe Saka only experiences a small problem and he can return to the field during this big match. However, this will be a really difficult match for Arteta's squad to get full points. but if they are able, the Gunners will automatically overtake City and become top of the standings. Moreover, this match is being held at their own home, and Arteta must be able to take advantage of the momentum of this very valuable opportunity.

Meanwhile, City is a strong team and has players who can score goals and not only Haaland. Currently, due to the absence of several key City players, Julian Alvares is always included in Pep Guardiola's starting eleven. In the next match, Pep will not let Arsenal gain the upper hand and defeat them, City will always be determined to continue to dominate the victory over Arsenal. although, there are several players who are absent, such as Rodi and De Bruyne. However, City does have a second layer of players who Pep Guardiola can rely on. Even though strength will have quite an influence on City when they visit the Emirates Stadium, this match must be an entertaining, exciting, interesting and tense match.

Last season Man City recorded 28 wins, 5 draws and five defeats in 38 matches in the EPL. I think it is too early to compare Man City current performance with last season, because the match has only entered its eighth week. Moreover, Pep Guardiola squad has only experienced one defeat in the EPL so far, of course Pep and the City squad will have the ambition to finish with more points than last season.

Kevin De Bruyne role is very vital in the Man City squad, this cannot be denied, but I don't think it's a big problem. The depth of Pep squad can cover De Bruyne absence, although it must be admitted that City sometimes has difficulty creating creativity to score goals. De Bruyne injury recovery is reportedly progressing quickly, but there is no certainty when the Belgian player will be available again in the Man City squad.

Erik Ten Hag's future with Manchester United began to falter over their failure in several matches, including in their matches in the Champions League which until the 2nd match they could not win. Naturally, supporters question whether ETH is a figure who deserves to be in the coaching chair or not, because he has not been able to create something that really brings fresh air. It may be true that last season he brought Manchester United to the Champions League this season, but that is not enough because there must be good progress between before and now.

You still haven't picked a side yet. It now or never for you to decide who's gonna win the game. Certain this will be the game of the week.
Manchester City and Pep Guardiola have always gotten the better when this both sides faces each other. In the past head to head games City has won more, so going against the odds today, I'm sticking to Arsenal to win the game.

Manchester City have seen some players back in to support the squad but the player Rodri will be the biggest surprised here, he is a very good reader and shield for Manchester City, his absence means they will get the better of Manchester City.

I just don't understand, why Rodri banned also from playing in the EFL Cup before, when Manchester City played against Newcastle yesterday in the EFL Cup match. Although in fact, Rodri got a red card only in the Premier League, then at least Rodri should still be able to play in the match against Newcastle in the EFL Cup yesterday. But in fact, that Rodri was still banned from playing also in the EFL Cup . After all, Rodri basically only got a red card in the Premier League and of course, Rodri only be banned for playing in the Premier League and not for other matches outside the Premier League. But yes, considering Rodri got a red card when playing against Nottingham, I think Rodri shouldn't play with a hard game like that, because he only played against Nottingham which is certainly not a difficult opponent for Manchester City.

Manchester united are going through a critical situation now but that is not enough reason to lose to Brentford especially when they're to play at home. Although everything about football turn out strange some times just like New castle lashed PSG with a convincing and comfortable victory in the UCL clash but, for Manchester united to lose against Brentford at old Trafford will definitely make the team to be more weaker and kill the little courage that remains in the team.

I'm beginning to be convinced that couches don't see what fans and spectators are seeing in the pitch and that's why they keep on making gross mistakes that cost them some match. Any serious couch who has been observing the game as supposed would have been benching Onana and Rashford since match week 4 but ETH ego is more precious to him than the success of the team. Both Rashford and Onana are actually young talented player and goal keeper respectively but they both not in their good form now and should be dropped to focus building up themselves again. Allowing them to play and lose will affect them and make them lose confidence.

Mikel Arteta has always done to the greatest extent to improve the Gunners, and he has a terrific reputation for the team. Defeating Manchester City in the Community Shield is one of the Gunners' notable achievements; they are currently a threat to City when they play on Sunday. Arsenal has been growing recently and is one of the EPL's most competitive clubs this season. Manchester City is the current EPL winner and the best leading team in the league. Pep Guardiola labored vigorously to ensure he got to experience the most beneficial moments with his team.

I don't know where you saw Pep complaining about Rodri missing the game, i've watched all Pep's press conferences this season and after the Nottingham Forest game, Pep was actually angry at Rodri (and not the ref) for losing his head and getting sent off. Pep has been asked countless times if Rodri would be a big miss for City, and he accepted that he would be greatly missed, and of course that is true, Rodri is the best defensive midfielder in the world and City have missed him since he has been suspended and they will miss him on Sunday, but Pep hasn't be complaining, instead he said they will find a solution, which i'm pretty sure they will.

It is a big game on Sunday, and it is almost impossible to predict, Rodri is a big miss and i think Saka might also miss the game due to injury. City have a good run of defeating Arsenal, thus i expect it to continue.

So what exactly is your point now based on what is being discussed?
Are you saying or of the opinion that Arsenal will beat Manchester city in their coming encounter due to their supposed under performance according to you?

Well, with all honesty, I don't know if to agree with you or not, but the fact here is that, Manchester city is currently leading in the EPL table. A team that is underperforming clearly wont be in the first position in the EPL table, the fact that they have been in that position from the very start of the season and have remained there even until this moment does show that they are doing something right, something other teams are seem not to be doing right.

Just my opinion though.

In the last season, Arsenal was a leader most of season but Manchester City began to take over a first position from Arsenal after their direct match. By losing against Lens in Champions League, Arsenal had a bad preparation for a match with Manchester City. They will play against Manchester City with not too good psychology after losing in Champions League and with pressure from recent head to head results against Manchester City, Arsenal will feel bigger pressure on their shoulders in an upcoming match.

Guardiola should feel happy that he has many players to use and it is a big advantage than many other clubs and coaches in Premier League. Rodrid is important for Manchester City but as a big club, they have to go through it well and complaining won't help them to surpass this challenging time.

It's true, especially after losing in the Champions League, the Manchester United players don't seem to have any more motivation in the upcoming match. If only they win, this week they will definitely be enthusiastic about winning again. Currently the situation at Manchester United is quite chaotic and no one can predict when this team can return to winning ways. Even against Brentford, it is likely that they will still have difficulties even though they are favored to play at Old Trafford.

Maybe it's true that the Red Devils players don't feel at home with Erik Ten Hag, even though it's clear that Onana and Rashford are the cause of the bad results that Manchester United have had so far and Erik Ten Hag should have been more firm in benching them both first so that the situation in the dressing room could be calmer. If Erik ten Hag continues to insist on especially giving the starting place to Onana, I think this club can no longer be helped.

Surprisingly Arsenal had to accept the defeat of a team that was far below their quality even though statistically Arsenal dominated the match, but the final settlement was not good for Arsenal in the match. Lens appeared inconsistencies in the domestic league while Arsenal still appeared quite good, but playing at home to the opponent made it difficult for Arsenal to break into the opponent's goal. The injury of some players makes conditions worse because they have a fairly crowded match schedule this season, so Arteta must be good at rotating if you don't want to get the next defeat.

Arsenal's eighth week will face the top of the standings and they will play in front of their own supporters. Facing Man City is not an easy thing even though Arsenal are currently unbeaten and I think the match will end in a draw because Arsenal will try to tackle Man City to get full points. So in my opinion the opportunity to end in a draw is still quite worth considering if you want to bet.

Haaland is still an important player for Manchester City and he is very influential in every match he plays but without scoring goals for the UCL that doesn't mean Haaland is incapable of being the best player because it is true that the League is still long and there are still enough matches left for Haaland to prove that he will not only be the best in the Premier League but also for the UCL.

From everything that Haaland has achieved it can be predicted that he can become Goat for the future and Manchester City will have star player who is truly of high value just like previously Messi for Barcelona and Ronaldo for Real Madrid.
Haaland will be their replacement in the future.

I just came across an article stating that Manchester City won the last 12 Premier League matches against Arsenal, but I know that things have changed over the years. Still that statistic is really telling. Was wondering whether Guardiola is still suspended, but seems he is not.

Guardiola is immensely complaining about Rodri missing the game and that the referee sent him off anyway. Can't recall the foul right now, but I am sure Manchester City has someone on the bench who is just good enough to play instead of Rodri.

I don't know what you all are thinking but from my point of view Manchester City team has started this season very badly than last season. Last season had a fantastic performance which deserves praise but the team's performance has suffered a bit since Kevin DeBruina left the team due to injury at the beginning of this season.

You first said that Manchester city have a better chance of winning the match, and then in the end, still turned around to say that both team have a chance of winning the match. this makes me want to ask you where exactly do you stand?.

In a football match, the game ends either a win for one team, and a loss for the other, or a draw which means that non of the team won or lost. For the coming match between Manchester city and Arsenal, it is one that is actually hard to predict, but if I am asked to with all honestly, without any sentiments, predict who would win the match, I would say that Manchester city does have a better chance of winning, even though I am personally wishing that Arsenal win the match, Arsenal should either win or let the game end in a draw, this is my wish.

Manchester City are a strong team everywhere, whether at home or away. 11 players will play in the field, fans from outside the field can only support the team but cannot come to the field but play the field game players have to play. If a team is mentally prepared then they can win at their home ground or any other team's home ground. 
Manchester City is a team that has experience playing in all kinds of conditions and the team has many young and experienced players who perform very well for the team. 

Manchester City might miss the absence of some experienced players in the match against Arsenal but the playing eleven will try to play their best and surely they will be on the field to get full points against Arsenal. I will bet on Manchester City in this match even if it is played at Arsenal's home ground.
