Arsenal defender William Saliba has now named his favourite Premier League forward between Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford.

Saliba has come up against Haaland and Rashford since making his long-awaited debut with Arsenal last season. Mikel Arteta has tasked the 22-year-old with trying to thwart Haaland in three matches. While the Frenchman has had to face Rashford running at him twice to date.

Arsenal lost to Manchester City in Saliba’s first two encounters with Haaland but he held the 23-year-old to one goal. The Norway wonder struck at Emirates Stadium in February as the Citizens won 3-1. He beat Aaron Ramsdale to score Man City’s third goal in the 82nd minute.

Haaland and Rashford have scored against Saliba and Arsenal
Haaland had also faced Saliba in the FA Cup in January before Manchester City beat Arsenal in the Premier League. Arteta introduced Saliba as a half-time substitute for Rob Holding at Etihad Stadium but the Gunners lost 1-0. Yet Haaland struggled to get the better of Saliba.

Saliba again helped Arsenal to stop Haaland from scoring in the Community Shield in August at Wembley. Pep Guardiola also took the striker off in the 64th minute for Cole Palmer, who then broke the deadlock. Leandro Trossard equalised before Arsenal won 4-1 on penalties.

Rashford has also scored past Ramsdale while Saliba has been on the pitch for Arsenal. The Manchester United dynamo delivered three goals in their meetings with the Gunners’ over the 2022/23 season. Both teams won their respective home fixture in the Premier League.

Rashford scored twice whilst playing as a centre-forward to secure Manchester United a 3-1 win over Saliba’s Arsenal at Old Trafford. The 25-year-old also then scored from the left wing at Emirates Stadium in January. And Saliba prefers it when Ben White has to mark Rashford.
