Manchester City

It is not fair to play one of these games like this. It is just not right. It cannot happen. I wasn't feeling in a perfect condition to play like this and people who have not played at the highest level don't know how it feels to play a game like this. You need to be at your best condition. We saw [Abdukodir] Khusanov getting injured [for City and going off at half-time] because these games demand a lot.

We played tough games this week - Manchester United and in the Champions League - and today we played against a powerful team. Hats off to our team for the resilience. It's so difficult when you're not effective with high pressing, it's always tough in the build-up. We made some transitions. I think the result is fair. In general Arsenal were better.

Leeds are already thinking about possible additions that they can make to Daniel Farke's squad in the January transfer window, and left-back is an area that could be addressed. Gabriel Gudmundsson, who joined in the summer from Lille, has had a tough start to life in the Premier League, and competition could be brought in mid-season. And one player that Leeds have on their radar is Nico O'Reilly, who has broken into the Man City first team fold over the course of 2025.

Finding it hard to get one over on your former boss after a run of eight straight defeats? Devise a gameplan that restricts their most important players and lead Arsenal to five games unbeaten against Manchester City if you include the Community Shield win in 2023, equalling the longest streak of any manager against Pep Guardiola, alongside Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel.

He was so smart [ask to come off against Napoli]. I know the result was not over, it was 1-0 then, it is always tricky, but he did not feel good. So we always try to talk [to understand what is best]. We try to sustain his fitness and feel that is not uncomfortable and he is better. We see day by day.

When it was 11 against 10 we made a really good performance against a team that has the DNA of the Italian teams, defending very well. How aggressive they are, how strong their mentality is. I'm really pleased because after 10 against 11 you can be more anxious and in a hurry but it was completely the opposite. Every pass was with intention and every moment was with intention.

It was Manchester City against Huddersfield Town in 1987. I must have been about nine years old at the time. I always had a big family of City followers, so I was probably always going to be a blue rather than a red, but it was confirmed after this match as we won 10-1! I was with my uncle at the back of the North Stand at Maine Road. It doesn't get much better than that for a first game.

I have spent so much of my life at this club. City means everything to me, so to be able to stay longer makes me incredibly happy.

Man City did a lot of encouraging business during the summer, but they failed to address their biggest area of weakness: right-back. A deal was sought for Newcastle and England star Tino Livramento, but in the end, neither he nor anyone else made the move. And this has left Pep Guardiola with a lack of options, with Matheus Nunes and Rico Lewis expected to fight it out to be Man City's starter

To begin, England defender John Stones was recently sent home from the Three Lions' September camp after complaining of a minor muscle injury. It remains to be seen just how bad that problem is for the City and whether he will feature against Manchester United this weekend. "He came with minor issues and didn't progress as we thought and hoped he would, so he left camp this morning," said Thomas Tuchel when asked about Stones' omission from England's two internationals against Andorra and Serbia.
