Mikel Arteta put his Arsenal side to the test at London Colney today as the Gunners trained for Saturday’s Premier League comeback against Manchester City.
Arsenal have started the 2020/21 season strong with three wins in their first four games to spark initial hopes of a possible title challenge.
Those ambitions were somewhat clouded by a 3-1 loss to champions Liverpool in September, but a push for Champions League qualification seems to be within this team’s capabilities, if early form is anything to go by. .
Arteta’s team have already developed a certain reputation for taking a step forward in the big games, having beaten Manchester City and Chelsea en route to winning the FA Cup last season.
The Spanish manager now faces his former boss, Pep Guardiola, once again when City host the Gunners at the Etihad on Saturday night.
Arteta’s 45 million pound transfer deadline, Thomas Partey, could make his debut, and he was fully involved in training on Friday as he battled his new teammates.
