"Haaland told the Gunners boss he should "stay humble" after an eventful 2-2 draw at Etihad Stadium last September, while the Norwegian forward had words with Lewis-Skelly, then 17, in the same match asking, 'who are you?', when players from both teams clashed at the full-time whistle. Lewis-Skelly then replicated Haaland's celebration pose, where he sits on the ground and crosses his arms and legs in a meditating position, after the defender, now 18, scored in Arsenal's crushing 5-1 victory in the February return."
"With three wins from their opening four league games, Arsenal are second in the table and have conceded only one goal too, which was Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free-kick in their 1-0 loss at Liverpool. They have invested around 250m in their squad this season as they look to lift a first trophy since 2020. As a result of that increased depth and quality, Arteta has more options from the bench."
Myles Lewis-Skelly replicated Erling Haaland's meditation-style celebration after scoring in Arsenal's 5-1 victory, following a previous Etihad clash where Haaland told the Gunners boss to 'stay humble' and asked Lewis-Skelly 'who are you?'. The upcoming Manchester City match at Emirates Stadium is highly contested as both clubs pursue Premier League ambitions. Arsenal remain unbeaten in Mikel Arteta's last four meetings with City. Arsenal have three wins from four league games and have conceded only one goal, a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick. The club has invested around £250m in the squad, increasing depth and bench options. Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard scored in the Champions League opener.
