The top two teams of the Premier League are set to clash in a Super Sunday showdown at the Etihad Stadium on September 22. High-flying Manchester City will face a tough challenge against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who are chasing the defending champions despite having played only three games this season.
Erling Haaland’s fine form will pose a challenge for Saliba and Gabriel, who will be looking to halt his goalscoring streak on the night. The absence of skipper Martin Ødegaard will surely hurt Arsenal, but they will find a way to come at City with full force.
