"It's like Liverpool. If Arne wins again, it will be because he spent a lot of money. Right? "Because it's not just Man City that happened, right? So for all of them. "Listen, for many, many years every club can do whatever he wants. You know? "I know how they've been treated is completely different, but what he [Arteta] wants to spend is because they want it and it's fine."
"They're going to go hiking in the mountains."
"We are going do that these two days. I don't know. Recovery, rest, rest, and have energy"
Arsenal and Liverpool both made major summer investments — Arsenal spent more than £250 million and Liverpool spent over £400 million, including seven-figure moves for Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. Manchester City also invested heavily, spending more than £150m in the summer on top of £180m in January.

City face Arsenal at the Emirates with limited preparation time after a Champions League win, prioritising recovery and rest.
