As Manchester City gear up to host Arsenal for a crucial Premier League fixture on Sunday, midfielder Rodri has warned the Gunners that they will “have to suffer a lot” if they hope to gain anything from the match.
Arsenal will be entering the match as league leaders, ahead of City, but Rodri emphasises that the mindset of the players will be crucial in determining the outcome of the match.
The Spainaird, who has been a key player for City this season, has urged his teammates to show their mettle and prove why they are reigning champions.
He believes that winning this game will be vital for their title hopes.
“In terms of points, there’s still nine games, so even if we draw or lose nothing is done, but we know with the difference right now, we must win,” he told Sky Sports.
The match is sure to be a challenging one, with both teams contending for the title.
The Etihad Stadium will be buzzing with anticipation as the players step onto the field.
Rodri is hopeful that City will come out victorious and send a message to their rivals.
“I encourage my team on Sunday to be completely focused and know that if we beat them it will be hard for them and better for us in the title race,” he added.
