Manchester City at Arsenal, in midweek, a rescheduled fixture with oh so much on the line. First place versus second place, well, enough said!

“We always thought about that, and with a few players, especially when you lose but those questions are always obvious when you drop a point or two points,” he answered during his post match press conference.
“I’m delighted to be fair with how the boys tried, how much they want it. With the players that we have, we try to maximise our resources, so far they’ve done really well.”
Maybe there will some squad rotation again soon, but definitely not in this one! There is just way too much on the line here. They’ll go as strong as possible.
