Man City host Arsenal on SundayGunners criticised for defensive approach last timeSaka says team are going for the winWHAT HAPPENED?
Arsenal and Manchester City face off in a huge Premier League clash on Sunday. The Gunners drew 0-0 on their last visit to the Etihad and received criticism from some quarters for their defensive approach against Pep Guardiola's side. Saka has insisted he's not worried about his team's critics and has vowed his team will go to the home of the champions aiming to bring back all three points.

He told reporters: "To be honest, I don’t really care. We know what we believed, we know what we went there to achieve. Only we know the real truth. We went there to win and we are going to do that again this Sunday.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Both teams head into the match after enduring goalless draws in the Champions League in midweek. Manchester City were held by Inter, while Arsenal saw goalkeeper David Raya star in their stalemate with Atalanta. The Gunners will also be without injured captain Martin Odegaard once again, as he is out with an ankle injury, and Saka has admitted his absence is a big blow. He added: "Yeah, you know how much I love Martin. He is a world-class player and we are going to miss him. We have to adapt. We have strength and players who can also play in his position. We will find a solution until he is back.”
