Arsenal will be sitting ducks if Mikel Arteta's only plan at Man City is to survive, writes DANNY MURPHY - and one name on the team sheet will tell you if he's going to sit back
Daily MailArsenal have the quality to trouble City if they are brave and do not sit off Manchester City and Arsenal both look stronger than they did during last season’s epic title race. Manchester City are too good for Arsenal to simply aim to survive - they're better than last year Mikel Arteta will send the wrong signal if he starts Jorginho - it will suggest he aims to sit back Multiple stars such as Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and William Saliba would make City's team A few Arsenal players — Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, William Saliba included — would get into City’s team. Erling Haaland has scored nine goals in four games this season - you cannot just sit back Jurrien Timber has been like a new player since his return from injury and this is a monumental test for him and Arsenal's depth Raheem Sterling could get a chance against the club he won four Premier League titles with Timber is like a new signing after last season’s injuries following his big-money move from Ajax. Mikel Arteta's side did not concede against City last season but he will be questioned if they sit back and just absorb pressure Manchester City have a slight advantage as they played a day before in the Champions League I predict a 2-1 victory for City to maintain their status as title favourites by a thin margin I know they travel on private planes but sleep patterns can still be interrupted.
