While Mikel Arteta had no issue with Arsenal watching the Manchester City game before their own, the reality was they didn’t have much of a chance to. They were “in and out” on the coach, as the manager put it, meaning they couldn’t really register Pep Guardiola’s repeatedly going in and out of Liverpool’s defence.
You could say that’s just as well given what a statement it was from the champions, as City ominously made it 17 goals in three games and seven consecutive wins.
