"Mikel Arteta has insisted his Arsenal players have learnt from Myles Lewis-Skelly's mock celebration of Erling Haaland ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester City. Arsenal host City at the Emirates Stadium in a fixture which has become increasingly hostile in recent seasons. Haaland urged Arteta to "stay humble" following a 2-2 draw at the Etihad a year ago before Lewis-Skelly imitated the striker's zen celebration when he scored in Arsenal's 5-1 thrashing of Guardiola's side at the Emirates in February."
"Arsenal were without Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard and Ben White for their midweek Champions League win against Athletic Bilbao in Spain. Arteta hinted he could face Guardiola's side without the trio after revealing they are yet to train this week. He said: "If there is a chance [they will play] it will be after tomorrow's session because they haven't done anything yet. We will have more information tomorrow.""
Arsenal players learned from Myles Lewis-Skelly's mock celebration of Erling Haaland and are preparing for a heated Premier League clash with Manchester City. The zen-style imitation followed Haaland's “stay humble” remark after a 2-2 Etihad draw and drew criticism despite Arsenal's 5-1 Emirates win. Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard and Ben White missed the midweek Champions League trip to Athletic Bilbao and have not trained this week, leaving their availability uncertain until after further sessions. Viktor Gyökeres required stitches for a head injury but is available. Squad decisions will be clarified following upcoming training and medical checks.
