Bukayo Saka has hinted that two key Arsenal stars could be dropped for the major Premier League title clash against Manchester City. Following three successive draws, Mikel Arteta has been urged by many to make necessary changes to his team in order to keep the Gunners' title hopes alive.
For the clash against Southampton last Friday, Arteta was forced into one change with Fabio Vieira coming in for Granit Xhaka who missed the game with illness. The Switzerland international's fitness was a key topic of discussion in Arteta's press conference on Tuesday, with the Spaniard's answer not providing much clarity.
"Granit has been out," Arteta said. "Hopefully, he’ll be able to train today but he’s still a doubt." The likelihood of a return for Xhaka was mostly unknown, but he was spotted arriving with the squad which hints at a matchday squad involvement.
