Before facing Man City, Bukayo Saka sells an Arsenal teammate in the FPL

In preparation for Wednesday night’s title match between Manchester City and Arsenal, Bukayo Saka made some intriguing roster adjustments.

The encounter at the Etihad Stadium has been labeled a must-win for Mikel Arteta’s team, who sit five points ahead of Pep Guardiola’s defending champions in the Premier League but have played two more games.

Saka, meanwhile, is excelling in an FPL league alongside his Arsenal teammates Eddie Nketiah, Rob Holding, and Mohamed Elneny.

However, with Manchester United playing away at Tottenham on Thursday, Saka decided to sell Arsenal teammate Gabriel Martinelli and add Marcus Rashford to his FPL lineup before gameweek 33, in which Arsenal will face City.

Saka, who is the owner of his own FPL squad, has decided to maintain Oleksandr Zinchenko as a third substitute rather than bench him.

Arteta referred to the title match between Arsenal and Chelsea as an ‘incredible opportunity’ for his squad and dismissed a suggestion that playing City at the Etihad Stadium earlier in the season would have benefited his side.

‘They’ve been in incredible form but look where we are in the table,’ Arteta said.

‘That means we’ve been in incredible form as well. That’s why we are where we are.

‘It’s going to be a tough night and challenge but the opportunity is incredible for us.

‘We knew from the beginning, if you want to win a Premier League, you have to go to Spurs and beat them. You have to go to Chelsea and you have to beat them.

‘You have to go away from home and win. This is what we’ve been doing. This is why we’re here. Now you have to go to City and you have to beat them.”’
