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 injury to Bukayo Saka. Despite Saka's unavailability, Arteta is optimistic about Dowman's potential, citing his impressive performances in 11 senior appearances this season. Dowman became the youngest scorer in Premier League history with his goal against Everton in March. Arteta said, 'He will be ready, I am sure. You throw him into any context, this kid, and you know what he will be delivering.' Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola acknowledged that Manchester City's Premier League title bid will be over if they lose to Arsenal on Sunday. Guardiola added that while an Arsenal win would end City's title challenge, there could still be plenty of twists and turns ahead with half a dozen games left to play.
