Kris Boyd has ‘real worry’ for Man City ace, Arsenal must target him

Unfortunately, Kevin de Bruyne was sacrificed as a result of the red card, ending his return of fairy tale at the Etihad stadium, having left as a free agent in summer, and the citizens never knew how to sweat during the confrontation.

However, Man City must now face Arsenal when the race was opened at the title of the Premier League, and with only six four -game points, Guardiola will be desperate to take over Mikel Arteta.

For citizens to win victory on Sunday, September 21, however, one of their new signatures which played against Napoli could be targeted as a weak point by the Gunners.

Arsenal must target Abdukodir Khusanov against Man City

Kris Boyd underlined Abdukodir Khusanov as the greatest weakness of the city before the shock on Sunday, suggesting that he could be targeted by Arteta.

“It was so solid, and you are looking back, there is a vulnerability on this subject. Ait-Nouri is injured, and Khusanov is a real concern”, He said live on Sky Sports News (September 20, 1:21 p.m.).

“He’s a young boy who takes the time to settle down, but it’s a real concern for me. If Arsenal can be found in this back line… ” As Boyd alluded to the Uzbekistan international being a weak point for citizens.

The central rear played the 90 full minutes against Napoli at the right back, barely putting an out of line at the Etihad stadium, but assuming the Gunners of the Emirates is a very different task for the young person.

Khusanov performance against Napoli in number

Against the 10 men of Napoli, Khusanov completed 99% of his attempted pass, had a long -term shot, took 93 keys, made eight passes in the last third and won two duels on the ground (Fotmob).

He also kept a white sheet against Man United, once again exceeding in the right position, so Boyd could underestimate the 21-year-old before the huge confrontation on Sunday.

Khusanov could compete against Gabriel Martinelli, who was the hero of Arteta during the victory in the mid -week of the Gunners on Athletic Club, so it could be a key battle on the right side of the city.

It was difficult for a few months in England for the young defender, but if he can prove himself against Arsenal, he can be obtained more minutes in the departure formation this season.
