Saka's 87 consecutive appearances suggest Mikel Arteta doesn't trust his replacements and that doesn't bode well for next two months
Liverpool will receive audio from Luis Diaz VAR error before it's made public within next weekSport Analysis
That has been one of the hallmarks of the Pep Guardiola era at City, who have always striven to have two world-class players in every position, and highlighted a potential problem for the champions on Saturday when Mateo Kovacic looked a poor imitation of the suspended Rodri.
Similarly Declan Rice has missed just three Premier League games since summer 2019, but it is Saka who now holds the record for most consecutive league appearances for the Gunners: if he plays against Man City on Sunday, it will be 88 in a row. Arteta of course will not underestimate them – he is too punctilious for that – and he may hope that Saka is afforded at least some time off during the international break, when England play a friendly against Australia before a qualifier against Italy. But if he cannot trust his team to win without Saka, then he needs to find a way.
