Arsenal to gain insights from Lewis-Skelly's jibe at Haaland: Arteta's perspective
Arsenal and Manchester City: A Rivalry Heats Up
In the ongoing saga between Arsenal and Manchester City, a new chapter has been added. City striker Erling Haaland taunted Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta by urging him to 'stay humble' following their previous encounter. This comes amidst an increasingly acrimonious rivalry between the two clubs.
Meanwhile, Arteta has been cryptic about the availability of key players Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Ben White for their upcoming match. The Arsenal manager did not mention their status in his latest press conference, only hinting that they could be absent. This was evident in their midweek Champions League game against Athletic Bilbao, where they were without these three players.
On a positive note, Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres is expected to be available after receiving stitches for a head injury. Another piece of good news for Arsenal fans is the projected positive future of the club, as expressed by Arteta. He spoke highly of the vision Stan and Josh Kroenke have for the football club.
The departure of Tim Lewis, who had advised Arsenal's owners Kroenke Sports since 2007, was announced by the club on Friday. Arteta expressed gratitude towards Lewis for his contributions to the football club and the team. Lewis played a key role in Arsenal's £250 million ($337 million) summer spending spree.
The celebration of Arsenal defender Lewis-Skelly's goal against City in February has added fuel to the fire. His celebration, a copy of City striker Erling Haaland's zen goal celebration, has not been well received by City fans. Arteta addressed this issue, stating that they have learned from it in the past.
Amidst all this, the future of Arsenal seems to be in the hands of co-chair Josh Kroenke. With the departure of Tim Lewis, it is expected that he will have more influence on the club's affairs. Teenager Lewis-Skelly, who scored against City, has not started a game for Arsenal this season.
More information about the availability of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Ben White will be known after tomorrow's training session. Fans will be hoping for a full squad as they prepare for the next match against their rivals, Manchester City.
