He'll play then be withdrawn from the England squad.

I don’t have a problem with that TBH. But it will eventually piss off the player if there is a risk of losing his place in the starting 11 (for Eng)

Based on his performances for club and country, I don’t see any risk of Saka losing his place even if he misses a few England games.

If Arteta keeps running him into the ground when he’s carrying an injury he will get a serious injury soon enough. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that injury happens on Sunday.

Can you imagine an oppo player pushing Ange ? half the team would be over to the touch line.
those wet wipes were, true to form, nowhere to be seen.
I just can't envisage a scenario where a player would push Ange. That's the difference for me, he's not a dick trying to get in the way of someone taking a throw in

Watching Saturday Social, Robbie from cringe Tv and their Man City fan, they’re debating an overall Man City/Arsenal eleven.. So far bar Rice any Arse player making the team has been through pity.

They’ve just agreed that KDB is world class and one of the best Premier league players of all time…

Robbie is now trying to argue (with a straight face) that Odegaard can reach the same level…

Jesus 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not even in the same universe.

Reading the paper summary today makes it sound like Arsenal and the FA are going to come to an agreement so he only plays 1 match.

On the topic of a combined XI.

Raya>Ederson; Ederson is good for a mistake and not a top shot stopper
Walker>White
Dias> Gabriel
Second CB is a toss up because outside of Saliba all of City's remaining CB's are better than anything Arsenal have.
LB I can't pick because both use their LB's differently.
Rodri>Rice
Rest of the midfield I'll go with double #10s and stick in Odegaard and KDB. If I had to drop one it would be Odegaard. Neither team have a top level #8, Partey probably just edges out Kovacic or Nunes.
Saka
Haaland/Alvarez
Grealish

I’m not sure Grealish makes the City XI on current form, let alone a combined…
