Foolish to underestimate the Gooners you obviously haven’t watched them this season. How can you not think Rice and Odegaard is not a big upgrade on xkaka and Partey ?
What a team still. We need this win SundayIf ederson not fit this is the team I'd play.

depends if the red heifer has been slaughtered and Satan has arrived. Are the Israelis not planning the slaughter any day now?Edit: Isn't Jesus supposed to be returning on Sunday?
Yep, agree, but Eddie can also be an accident waiting to happen when he charges out instead of staying back.His distribution is his problem. It’s nowhere ederson levels and that matters in the big games IMO.
He’s not good at pinging the ball out, but he’s really good at slide rule passes through the lines.yeah, pulls off some amzing saves but when the balls at his feet a little turd begins to pop out of my arse ;-)
when we play against teams that like to press high up the pitch I often wonder why Eddie doesn’t fire a couple of long balls over the top to Haaland but it’s clear that’s not the way Pep wants to play. He prefers to play out from the back, keep possession and wear opponents down.Long ball to Haaland, put them in the back foot.
i’m croatian so my impressions of epl fanbases are limited to social media and content creators.There are very few Arsenal fans I know predicting an easy game. Most are predicting a defeat or maybe a draw and anyone thinking a trip to the Etihad is a great goal difference building opportunity is either deluded or looking for clickbait.
The only caveat that gives any of us more optimism is if Stones doesn't play as he's so vital to how you rotate the ball up the field.
I know it suits the narrative to imagine there are a bunch of entitled opposing fans who have it in for City and think we'll win easily but you must be confusing us with the Dippers, firstly we so not expect to win and secondly very few Arsenal fans have it in for City anyway, it's Spurs and the Dippers that we dislike the most.
Think that's the team if Akanji and Kev are fit enough of courseEderson
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Ake
Rodri
De Bruyne
Kovacic
Foden
Bernardo Silva
Haaland
Absolutely spot on. Jack, Doku and Alvarez all good options from the bench. Bernie right, Phil left and Rodders and Kova pivot giving KDB free role behind Earl. Simples.Ederson
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Ake
Rodri
De Bruyne
Kovacic
Foden
Bernardo Silva
Haaland
The Arsenal fans I know agree with this, both of them.There are very few Arsenal fans I know predicting an easy game. Most are predicting a defeat or maybe a draw and anyone thinking a trip to the Etihad is a great goal difference building opportunity is either deluded or looking for clickbait.
