What I will do to Arsenal players if Manchester City wins — Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned his players against being intimidated ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester City on Wednesday. The Gunners currently sit five points ahead of City, but the defending champions have two outstanding games and can take control of the title race with a win at the Etihad Stadium.

Despite the odds being against them, Arteta believes that his team can pull off a massive result and secure three points in what is arguably their biggest game of the season. However, he made it clear that the players must be mentally prepared for the challenge and not be inhibited by the occasion.

When asked about the possibility of his players being intimidated by City, Arteta replied: “No. And if they do, I will just say: ‘I will kill them.’ And I don’t want that at all.”

Arteta’s comments highlight the importance of mental toughness and a winning mentality for Arsenal, as they look to secure a top-six finish and keep their European hopes alive. The Gunners have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, winning four of their last five league games, and will be hoping to build on that momentum against City.

The match is expected to be a closely contested affair, with both teams having plenty to play for. While Arsenal will be looking to secure a crucial victory, City will be looking to maintain their impressive form and close the gap on league leaders Arsenal.

The clash between City and Arsenal is scheduled to kick-off at 8:00 pm GMT on Wednesday, and both sides will be hoping to secure a vital three points in what promises to be an exciting encounter.
