Manchester City star Ruben Dias has insisted that Pep Guardiola’s side will be ready to take on any team that Arsenal will put out at the Etihad on Sunday.
The Premier League champions opened their Champions League campaign with a 0-0 draw at the Etihad on Wednesday night but the focus has turned towards the weekend.
Manchester City have won the last four Premier League titles and in the last two seasons, Arsenal were their closest challengers.
Guardiola’s men failed to beat Arsenal in the two Premier League games last season and there is massive anticipation ahead of the two sides clashing at the Etihad on Sunday.
Arsenal will be in Champions League action against Atalanta at their renovated Gewiss Stadium tonight but they will likely have one eye on the weekend.
Rodri warned Arsenal that Manchester City will be ready for them
Manchester City have won their opening four Premier League games and are firm favourites to win a fifth title in a row despite their off-the-field legal issues.
Dias and his Manchester City teammates will have an eye on Arsenal against Atalanta as they prepare for the Gunners at the Etihad ahead of Sunday.
However, the defender insisted that regardless of what sort of Arsenal turn up this weekend. Manchester City will be ready to take them on at home.
“We’ll see what they do”, Dias told Italian outlet Tutto Mercato.
“We’ll be ready to face them in any way.”
Arsenal picked up four points from their two games against Manchester City in the league but still fell short of winning the Premier League.
William Saliba has insisted that the result on Sunday will not end up defining their season but the club are aware they will need three points to keep Manchester City honest in the title race.
