'I wouldn’t say [the Man City game] is the final, but maybe the semi-final because it’s massive, and so important as both teams are fighting at the top.'
Date published: Wednesday 12th April 2023 4:23 -Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has downplayed the importance of Arsenal versus Manchester City, calling it a “semi-final,” while he also thinks “everything is in our hands.”
Before that, you have to go back to the 2003/04 campaign for the last time they were properly in the hunt for the title and finished in the top two. They won the league that season, and have been waiting to return to those heights ever since. There was a slight hiccup last time out, when the Gunners drew 2-2 with Liverpool. That’s given second-placed Manchester City a shot at closing the gap – they’re six points worse off, but with a game in hand.
“But we can’t change that so we have to switch the focus to Sunday against West Ham. It’s really important – we all know that – so we’ll try and be ready for the game to give our best and get the three points,” he added.
