“If a player is scared, I’ll go for his throat”

1/5
Mikel Arteta faces the match of his life.

On Wednesday evening there is a top game between Manchester City and Arsenal for the English championship (9 p.m., live in the ticker on Blick.ch). Whoever wins this game has the best chance of winning the championship title. Arsenal are currently five points ahead, although the “Gunners” still have two games to go.

Players need not fear

Arsenal have not won their last three games, while City have won six league games in a row and are unbeaten since the beginning of February.

You can easily be afraid of your opponent. Not so Arsenal. To really warm up his player, coach Mikel Arteta (41) jokes: “If a player is scared, I’m going to grab him by the throat. And I don’t want that at all.”

Duel against former teacher

Before the former midfielder took over as Arsenal manager in December 2019, he was Pep Guardiola’s (52) assistant at Manchester City. Since being opponents, the two have met nine times, only once with the better end for Arteta (2020 FA Cup semi-final). “Yes, it will be a tough night and a big challenge, but the opportunity is incredible for us. If you want to become champions, you have to win these games. It’s that simple,” said the Spaniard.

It is still unclear whether the title fight will take place with or without Granit Xhaka (30). Nati’s captain and Arsenal quarterback missed the 3-3 win against Southampton bottom due to illness – his performance against City is questionable. Nati colleague Manuel Akanji (27), on the other hand, should be in the starting eleven of the Citizens. (tired)
