Jorginho reveals why Arsenal stars are laughing at Erling Haaland

Arsenal will be facing Manchester City on Sunday as both teams prepare to take their Premier League rivalry to another level.

The Gunners head to Manchester City on Sunday to tackle a Pep Guardiola side boasting 100 per cent start to their Premier League title defence. Mikel Arteta side will be wary of the threat possessed by Man City players especially Erling Haaland.

One player that decide the result on Sunday is Manchester City’s forward Erling Haaland who has scored nine times in the first four matches of the new campaign.

Arsenal have scored six goals so far and this indicates the threat possessed by Manchester City’s attacking players.

However, Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has now admitted that his Gunners team-mates can only laugh at Erling Haaland’s extraordinary form and not panic.

Jorginho, who deputised as captain for the injured Martin Odegaard for the north London derby, said: ‘Erling scoring again, it is starting to make us laugh.

‘We look at City’s results because we look at all the games and we love football. We love the Premier League so we watch all the games to be fair. It doesn’t get to our head. We need to focus on us and that is what we are trying to do.’

The last time Arsenal failed to take all three points away from the Emirates was at City in March.

But Jorginho insists the Gunners will not settle for a point when the two sides meet on Sunday.

‘If you want to achieve big things you need to have the mentality of trying to win every single game,’ he said.

‘That is what we need to do and that is what we want to do.

‘You have to keep believing in what you are doing. We are doing that and we keep working hard to improve and doing right the things. We are on the right path and we need to keep it going.’

Manchester City and Arsenal will be playing in the UEFA Champions League this week and it’s left to see if this will play a role in their match on Sunday.
