Dream Arsenal line-up vs Manchester City as Saka and Martinelli start, Partey partners Rice

Arsenal’s dream line-up for their Premier League match against Manchester City includes Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli returning from injury and Thomas Partey in the starting XI.

The midweek disappointment in the Champions League could be wiped off the ground with a big win in this week’s Premier League game. The reason is that the opponents are Manchester City, who, as always, arrive in the red half of north London with an incredibly good record.

However, there are many theories about this game, most of which focus on who doesn’t play. On the visitors’ side, Rodri, who is suspended, and Kevin De Bruyne, who is injured, will both be absent from the squad, having been a thorn in the side for the Gunners for some time.

This is arguably the Gunners’ best chance in years to get a good result against the champions. However, there is a silver lining despite Mikel Arteta also suffering from a spate of injury problems that have plagued his team in recent weeks.

Speaking of the team’s dream lineup, starting goal: David Raya. If we keep the likes of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez away this weekend, the mistakes we made against Tottenham and RC Lens will be forgotten.

The defense has options primarily at left-back, with either Oleksandr Zinchenko or Takehiro Tomiyasu being the subject of debate, with the latter offering greater defensive safety and probably the best away player. would be preferable. However, at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners want to build from the back and that is why the Ukrainian is preferred.

William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes missed the trip to the Etihad Stadium due to injury, so this will be their first match against City since their last home defeat. Ben White returns as a right-back and will be tasked with dealing with a potential starter on City’s left flank.

The move to midfield and Thomas Partey’s return to fitness could not have come at a better time. When you’re ready, join forces with Declan Rice to recreate his Shield success as the Gunners compete against his treble winners throughout the game, ultimately lifting the trophy.

Martin Odegaard may be able to reassure his dwindling critics by putting his best performance against Man City on his CV. With the arrival of the captain on Sunday, the Norwegian began to realize that only the best at the club were given a certain amount of recognition.

The summit is both exciting and terrifying. Both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are not completely ruled out for this game and the idea that in a dream scenario they could both be fit would be a huge boost and reassurance for Arteta. He would then provide Gabriel Jesus with a resurgent pace wing who has been stuck place.
