Arteta speaks on Arsenal chances of defeating Man City

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes his side can defeat Man City when they meet this weekend.

The Gunners will be fighting for their first Premier League win against Manchester City since 2015 when Pep Guardiola’s side travel to Emirates Stadium on Sunday, but we can take confidence from this season’s Community Shield Final victory.

“Well, that was an important one for us,” Mikel Arteta recalled in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

“To win a title against Man City is always something you have to value, the way we did it as well and it gives us confidence and belief that we can beat them.

“That was a while ago obviously. It was after pre-season, we had some players available, some players not available, we are much more into the season, so I think it will be a different game.”

“Any team in the Premier League has the tools and the quality to beat you and I think all the managers are aware of that, for sure,” Mikel added.
