In the next round of the English Premier League, football fans will witness the long-awaited central match - the clash between Manchester City and Arsenal. This match is noted as one of the most important not only of the round, but also of the entire season. Because the coaches competing on the field are Josep Guardiola and his former student Mikel Arteta.
Before the match, various publications presented their assumptions about the main squads of the teams. This sparked even greater interest among fans.
According to Al Jazeera, Arsenal could feature the following lineup: Raya as goalkeeper, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, and Calafori in defense. Merino, Zubimendi, and Rice are in midfield. Madueke, Dyokeresh, and Martinelli will be on the attack.
City's potential starting lineup is as follows: Donnarumma - goalkeeper, Khusanov, Dias, Guardiol, and O'Reilly in defense. Rodri, Silva, Reynders, Foden in midfield, and Haaland and Doku in attack.
"Sports Mole" also presented a similar composition. While they have listed the same names for Arsenal, at City, Donnarumma is expected to be in the starting lineup, Khusanov, Dias, Guardiol, O'Reilly in defense, Rodri and Silva in midfield, and Foden, Reynders, Haaland, and Docu in attack.
The most interesting prediction was presented by the "London Evening Standard" website. According to him, Eze could replace Martinelli in Arsenal's starting lineup. At Manchester City, it's likely that Ake will replace Dias, and Savino will appear in the attack.
Sports Illustrated has also published its preliminary squad for the match:
This contest is full of intrigue and drama in every aspect. On one side are Guardiola's pupils, who are seen as the main contenders for victory throughout the season, and on the other side is Arteta's team, which is growing stronger year by year and openly demonstrating its ambitions.
In any case, this match will undoubtedly be a bright football spectacle for Premier League fans.
