Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta appeared in a press conference to discuss the upcoming match on Sunday against Manchester City in the fifth round of the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium.

He began by discussing the team's condition: "There is a possibility of the return of Ben White, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Ødegaard, but we need to assess their condition after Saturday's training session, as they have not trained with the team so far. Mikel Merino and Viktor Gyökeres, who suffered head injuries against Athletic Bilbao, are ready to play. As for William Saliba: let's see, because he is suffering from an injury and is pushing himself a lot, we will decide tomorrow."

Regarding Eze: "It's never fixed because it depends on what we want to achieve from that space. The behavior of the winger is affected by the player who stands behind him, and then the positioning of the attacking midfielder also comes into play, whether he moves deep or not. There are many factors to consider before making a decision."

On facing Manchester City and the importance of the match in the title race: "It's about winning again and creating a good and consistent moment for us. We are competing against one of the best teams in the world, and it is also a good opportunity to measure our level."

Regarding Madueke, he concluded: "I was confident that he is a player with the quality and talent that we did not have in the squad. He brings danger and a level of unpredictability to what he can do, and that will make us better. So far, the impact he has had on the team is very, very positive."
