Pedro, Johnny and Matt. The biggest game of the season. Sunday at the Etihad. Everyone’s nervous, everyone’s excited, and nobody is pretending otherwise. This is the one.
Here’s what’s inside:
🔥 Hottest of Takes — Matt calls out Arsenal fans for being weaker than the team they’re supposed to be supporting. Johnny calls for respect to be put on Arsenal’s name. Pete goes GYOK-free for the day in a remarkable act of discipline
🧤 Raya vs Kepa — The Reminder — a brief, glorious reminder of what we spent most of the season dealing with in domestic cups, and why going to Man City with the best keeper in the world matters enormously
🏥 Saka, Odegaard, Timber — Will They Start? — Matt is more pessimistic than Pete. The bench slots vs starts debate. Who’s realistic and who’s wishful thinking
⚔️ Kai Havertz — The Man City Game Plan — Pete pulls out the data, Johnny makes the case for Kai as a nine specifically at the Etihad, and Matt reveals the height matchup that should worry Kúsanov and Gvardiol
🥊 The Rope-A-Dope Theory — Pete goes full Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman. If Arsenal can survive the first 20 minutes and make City ask themselves whether they have enough, this could completely change
🔮 Predictions — The predictions are unambiguously positive going into Sunday. Too positive? Who knows!
