Arsenal – Man City: why Rodri could be the main problem for the visitors.

According to The Sun: This week, Arsenal faces Manchester City in a match that is crucial for both teams.

Mikel Arteta's team is eager to stay competitive with Liverpool, especially after their defeat last month.

In this match, Arsenal will meet their old foes from Manchester City, who are trying to get back into the title race after a disappointing last campaign.

Pep Guardiola's team has gone through significant changes over the past year and a half: players like Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, and others have left.

Guardiola intends to prove that his team is serious about this season, despite some initial struggles. Meanwhile, Arteta's team aims to show that it already knows how to handle former champions.

BATTLE IN THE MIDFIELD

Arsenal could outmatch Manchester City in the battle for midfield control.

I watched the match between Manchester United and Manchester City and noted that City has a problem with Rodri.

Rodri is a Ballon d'Or winner, but in my opinion, he is not quite meeting the demands that Pep Guardiola's press puts on him.

Arsenal has strong defenders capable of pressuring the opponent. They can force Rodri to be out of position.

WHY IS MILES LOUIS-SKELLY NOT PLAYING?

I am surprised why Myles Louis-Skelly is not on the pitch, as he showed excellent play last season.

This year, players with unconventional styles like Niko O'Reilly are getting more chances.

At the moment, Arsenal is playing with Merino and Zubymenko in midfield, so there is no need for Louis-Skelly.

DOES EBERECHI EZE NEED TO START?

The short answer is yes. I believe he has started the season well.

Arsenal fans can expect more from his performances.

ARE 'FINISHERS' JUST EMPTY SPACES?

After Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard scored coming off the bench in the match against Athletic Bilbao, Arteta emphasized the importance of his bench players.

The Spaniard referred to his substitutes as 'finishers'.

With the return of Havertz and Odegaard, attention will focus on the team's mood, as they have many top-class players.
