‘We Feast’ ‘RIP Arsenal In Advance’ City Fans React After Hearing Latest Injury Update About Gunners Star
Arsenal centre-back William Saliba will not face Manchester City on Wednesday due to an ongoing back injury, according to reports in the UK.
The Frenchman has not played since picking up the problem last month, and the Gunners have struggled to keep clean sheets without him.
Fans on Twitter believe Saliba’s absence is a big boost for City, and some expect Erling Haaland to have a field day against the likes of Rob Holding and Gabriel:

While Saliba’s absence is a blow for City’s title rivals, it is important that Pep Guardiola’s team don’t get complacent and think a win is a foregone conclusion.
The reigning champions are likely to be without Nathan Ake as well, so the home side will also be weaker defensively, which is something to keep in mind.
Even so, the likes of Haaland, De Bruyne and Grealish will be aware of their opponent’s defensive frailties and they will be hoping to take advantage at the Etihad.
