City, Arsenal play out a drab draw

In the end, despite a lot of expectations, maybe Manchester City and Arsenal were perhaps too evenly matched or maybe they were too afraid to lose. So what transpired was a disappointing 0-0 draw, that only helps Liverpool.

Chances were scarce as the two teams had a combined 3 shots on target. It is also not like there were too many noteworthy performances. Bukayo Saka was marshalled well by Josko Gvardiol and Martin Odegaard had a poor game by his standards. Kevin De Bruyne was kept in check by Declan Rice and the duo of William Saliba and Gabriel ensured that Erling Haaland didn't get near the scoresheet.
