Arsenal midfielder Xhaka: Wednesday big for Man City and for us

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has detailed the mindset of his squad as they prepare to take on Manchester City.

The Premier League leaders welcome the champions to their backyard on Wednesday.

With only a three point lead, having played a game less, Arsenal would lose top spot if they lost the game to City.

As per the Evening Standard, Xhaka said: “If we are honest, we are not speaking about them [City].

“We are looking at ourselves, game by game. We didn't win [on Saturday], we took one point. And Wednesday is big - for them, for us. So, let's see."

City could be without ace forward Erling Haaland for this contest.
