‘Embrace the moment’: Arteta urges Arsenal to seize chance against City
Manager reveals how friendship with Pep Guardiola has evolvedBukayo Saka in contention to play on Sunday after injury
Mikel Arteta has urged Arsenal to “embrace the moment” when they face Manchester City in a critical showdown that could define this season’s title race and believes his players have learned from last season’s thrashing at the Etihad.
Arsenal have a one-point advantage over Pep Guardiola’s side in third and lead second-placed Liverpool on goal difference with just 10 matches remaining. Sunday’s meeting comes 11 months after Arteta’s side lost 4-1 at the Etihad as City went on to secure a third successive Premier League title despite trailing Arsenal for most of the season.
