Mikel Arteta provides unwanted message ahead of Arsenal's clash with Premier League Champions
Arteta has provided a worrying update on the status of his captain's injury status which will not be good news for their title challenge, especially with Manchester City on the horizon.
He opened the scoring in a February 2024 encounter at the Etihad, only to be matched by Rodri’s late equaliser. This ability to strike first could be vital for Arsenal, who might need to take the initiative against a team as dominant as City.
Moreover, during a club-friendly in August 2024, Sterling scored again against City, reinforcing the notion that he thrives in these matchups.

John Obi Mikel hits back at Chelsea striker's 'shut up don't talk s***' comment
John Obi Mikel has responded to Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson after the Ivorian forward fired at him for criticizing his finishing.
With his pace and experience, Sterling could provide the attacking edge that Arsenal need to breach City’s defences, especially given that they may adopt a more cautious approach early in the game.
However, Arteta must consider the bigger picture. While Sterling’s previous performances against City are compelling, he must also weigh how well he fits into Arsenal’s current system and rhythm.
If Arteta believes Sterling can integrate seamlessly into the line-up and exploit City’s vulnerabilities, it might just be the perfect time to unleash him.
Ultimately, Sterling’s history against City presents a tantalising opportunity for Arsenal. If Arteta can harness that potential, it could make all the difference in a match that could define their title ambitions.
