Ahead of the potential title decider, Saka has made some huge changes to his Fantasy Premier League team.
The Gunners’ star has decided to sell teammate Gabriel Martinelli and has replaced him with Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
In addition, Saka has left Oleksandr Zinchenko on the bench as he opted for a back three of Pervis Estupinan, Kieran Trippier and Ibrahima Konate.
Saka owns himself in his FPL team and he has placed himself in midfield along with Rashford, Kaoru Mitoma and Mohamed Salah.
The 21-year-old has a front three of Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak and Ollie Watkins, who he captained for the latest game week.
Ahead of Arsenal’s match against City, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has spoken about the challenge facing his team.
He said: “They’ve been in incredible form but look where we are in the table. That means we’ve been in incredible form as well. That’s why we are where we are.
“It’s going to be a tough night and challenge but the opportunity is incredible for us.”
Arteta continued: “We knew from the beginning, if you want to win a Premier League, you have to go to Spurs and beat them. You have to go to Chelsea and you have to beat them.
“You have to go away from home and win. This is what we’ve been doing. This is why we’re here. Now you have to go to City and you have to beat them.”
