Arteta Confident in Dowman's Readiness to Face Manchester City

Mikel Arteta has expressed confidence in Max Dowman's ability to start against Manchester City, following the ruling out of Bukayo Saka due to injury. Arteta stated that Dowman is "ready" to take on the challenge, having impressed in his 11 senior appearances this season. The 16-year-old made history by becoming the youngest scorer in Premier League history with his goal against Everton in March. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola acknowledged that a loss for Manchester City would essentially end their title bid, but remains optimistic about his team's chances. The highly anticipated match between the top two teams is set to take place on Sunday, with Arsenal seeking to reopen their nine-point lead.
