Prior to the top-of-the-table clash between Manchester City and Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend, Arsenal defender Saliba stated in an interview that the result of the match against Manchester City will not affect Arsenal’s ambition to win the league title this season, regardless of the outcome.
Saliba expressed that Arsenal will continue to compete with Manchester City this season as they did in the past two seasons. “We all know that to compete with Manchester City as we did over the past two years, we must perform even better. Of course, our competition with Manchester City is not just between the two teams, but also involves comparing ourselves with other teams.”
Saliba believes that no matter what the result of the match against Manchester City this weekend is, Arsenal’s ambition to win the title remains unchanged. “Winning the title is not solely about the match against Manchester City. If we win against Manchester City but fail to win other matches, it would be meaningless. Of course, we hope to defeat Manchester City this weekend, and we will strive for victory, but this is not the end of the title race.”
As for Haaland, who broke the Premier League scoring record in the first four rounds, he is a player Arsenal must contain. Regarding this, Saliba said, “He is a great player and currently the best player in the world. Although it is difficult to stop him, he failed to score against us last season, and we hope to do the same this time.”
