It’s the shock that everyone is waiting for in the Premier League. This Sunday, Manchester City travels to Arsenal in a clash that promises to be exciting and thrilling. Reigning champion, City remains the big favorite for this meeting.
But be careful, the Gunners dream of bringing down the Mancunian ogre at the start of the season. Pep Guardiola’s men have been warned. The latter, despite a good start to the season for his team, did not hesitate to reframe one of his stars at a press conference, namely Phil Foden.
The Catalan coach highly values the Englishman and is very demanding of him. However, he finds that the British international sometimes has his head in the air and lacks rigor. “I think Phil has a free instinct as a footballer. He’s not a player who thinks so much when he plays, he’s a bird: fly wherever you want. But he still has a step to take and duties to accomplish for the team.
Phil played right, left, in the intervals; no problem. Could he finally play as a defensive midfielder? To do this, he must understand the game as a whole, not just ‘me’. As he grows, he has to add things to his game,” he said.
Phil Foden starting against Arsenal this Sunday?
This is the big meeting of this 8th day of the Premier League. Currently 2nd in the standings behind Tottenham, but with a game in hand, Manchester City will want to win at the Emirates Stadium and regain their first place.
For this meeting, Pep Guardiola should count on Phil Foden who, barring any surprises, should start the game in attack as a right attacking midfielder. The Englishman could be one of the Skyblues’ weapons to destabilize the London defense.
