DBasia.news – Arsenal will play defending Premier League champions two times in a row, Manchester City, in the 17th match. Arsenal has a chance to win in the match later.
Arsenal still hasn’t found the best game despite firing Unai Emery. Freddie Ljungberg just brought the Gunners to a victory.
London Cannons need three points to move to the top of the Premier League. Currently, Arsenal is still rooted in the ninth position by a margin of seven points from the Champions League zone.
Of course, uprooting Manchester City is not an easy matter for Arsenal. The Citizens are in combat-ready condition after they were defeated by Manchester United. Man City’s ambition is to reap positive results to keep the hope of defending the championship title.
Judging from the player’s material, Manchester City is also one level above Arsenal. The players owned by Man City have a star label from the back to the front.
However, Arsenal need not be discouraged. The Gunners also have several players who can make Manchester City beaten. The following are three players that Arsenal can rely on to beat Manchester City:
Pierre Em Emerick-Aubameyang
Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang was the answer in the midst of the Arsenal front line blunt. The Gabon international does not show a downward graph compared to last season.
Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has scored 11 goals in 16 Premier League appearances. Meanwhile, in various events, the 30-year striker added his goal collection to 13.
So far, Manchester City has conceded 19 goals in 16 matches. The amount is fairly large for a club as big as The Citizens who have a target champion.
Since Aymeric Laporte was absent, Manchester City’s defense has been porous. If in the best condition, Aubameyang has a great chance to make the emergency center-back duo, Fernandinho, and Nicolas Otamendi, helpless.
Bernd Leno
Manchester City has a row of sharp attackers like Gabriel Jesus, Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Bernardo Silva, and Riyad Mahrez. It is difficult to rely on the fragile Arsenal defense to block these players.
Hope can be given to Bernd Leno. The 27-year-old goalkeeper is the most shining player in the midst of the dim rearguard of Arsenal.
This season, Bernd Leno has recorded an average of 4.3 saves per match. Inevitably, Arsenal can expect a lot of the goalkeeper to perform brilliant action.
Gabriel Martinelli
Gabriel Martinelli is an Arsenal player who tries hard not to waste the opportunity to play. In 15 appearances for Arsenal, the 18-year-old has packed eight goals plus two assists.
When against West Ham United and Standard Liege, Martinelli had the opportunity to appear from the first minute. A more senior player, Alexandre Lacazette, was sacrificed on the bench.
The result, Martinelli made Arsenal’s attack more powerful and varied. With a capital of speed and individual ability, the Brazilian has the opportunity to outperform the Manchester City defender who is dominated by an old-age defender.
