On September 21, a top-of-the-table clash between Manchester City and Arsenal is set to take place. Premier League legend Alan Shearer has selected his combined team from both the Sky Blues and the Gunners. In his opinion, seven players from Manchester City would make the starting lineup, while only four players from Arsenal would be included.
In Shearer’s vision for this combined team, Manchester City’s goalkeeper Ederson would start between the posts; in defense, Arsenal’s Saliba, Gabriel, and Timber are included, with only Walker representing Manchester City, suggesting that Shearer believes Arsenal’s backline is more solid.
However, in the midfield and forward positions, only Saka represents Arsenal, with the remaining five spots filled by Manchester City players. This indicates that Shearer sees Manchester City’s midfield and attack as significantly stronger than Arsenal’s.
Shearer’s starting lineup for the combined Manchester City and Arsenal team:
Goalkeeper: Ederson (Manchester City);
Defenders: Walker (Manchester City), Saliba (Arsenal), Gabriel (Arsenal), Timber (Arsenal);
Midfielders: Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Rodri (Manchester City), De Bruyne (Manchester City);
Forwards: Saka (Arsenal), Haaland (Manchester City), Foden (Manchester City).
