As is frequently the case when Manchester City and Arsenal face off in the Premier League, there will be a few reunions with some familiar characters.
Mikel Arteta, of course, began his career as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at the Etihad Stadium before assuming the position of manager at the Emirates.
The student, who signed a new three-year contract this month, is determined to finally uproot his former master in 2025 after finishing second behind Man City in each of the last two seasons.
The injured Oleksandr Zinchenko will not be reunited with Man City, and captain Martin Odegaard will also be observing from the sidelines.
There is a possibility that Gabriel Jesus may appear against the club that brought him to English football from Palmeiras. In addition, Raheem Sterling may have a role. The Chelsea loanee who, in six seasons, scored 121 goals, played a vital role in the establishment of Manchester City’s current success.
According to ESPN, the agreement that brought Sterling to Arsenal was somewhat unexpected, as Arteta himself acknowledged.
The experienced England international is on the brink of completing his gauntlet of Premier League infinity stones, having previously played for City, Chelsea, and Liverpool. He is currently at The Gunners.
