Etihad Stadium, Manchester, ENG
Ederson - Single save in drawEderson had one save and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 22nd minute.
ImpactEderson had a tough match Sunday, he was beaten twice and then had little to do as Arsenal went down to 10 players. Once Arsenal were down to 10 player Ederson was largely uninvolved as it was one-way traffic. The goalkeeper has never been a prolific shot stopper, and thrives more on the control City often have, something that goes out the window against top opposition.

John Stones - Scores heroic equalizersStones scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
ImpactStones was the man of the hour as he stepped up to score a late equalizer in second half stoppage time and rescue the point. With Rodri (knee) going down for the remainder of the season, Stones could step into holding midfield in a full-time role once more. While he certainly wouldn't have amazing attacking upside, it would give him more chances to get forward.

Erling Haaland - Nets againHaaland scored one goal to go with six shots (five on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Arsenal.
ImpactHaaland opened the scoring during Sunday's draw, but was frustrated for the rest of the match, despite Arsenal going down a player. Haaland is off to a simply ridiculous start to the Premier League campaign and already seems half way to sealing another golden boot award. Haaland also set the record for fewest matches to reach 10 goals, breaking his own record from 2022/23.

David Raya - Brilliant to salvage pointRaya recorded nine saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
ImpactRaya stopped nine of the 11 shots he faced and earned a draw in one of the performances of the season. He nearly did enough to come away with the win as well, before a late John Stones goal broke Arsenal hearts. Raya has been one of the top options in the league since moving to Arsenal and figures to be an elite option moving forward.

Gabriel Martinelli - Assists for drawMartinelli assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
ImpactMartinelli has been inconsistent in recent months, but he provided a huge assist during Sunday's massive draw at the top of the table. Martinelli will need to fight for a continued starting role with other options in the team competing behind him. Still at his best Martinelli is an excellent option on the left wing and should continue to be a top option when in the starting XI.

Bukayo Saka - Assists SundaySaka assisted once to go with three crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
ImpactSaka was back on the scoresheet with an assist during Sunday's draw, though he was brought off straight after half time. The winger had to be brought off as Arsenal went down to 10 players, but his impact was still excellent in the first half. Saka remains one of the top wingers in the Premier League in all competitions.

Riccardo Calafiori - Nets in drawCalafiori scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Manchester City.
ImpactCalafiori scored an absolute beauty that proved to be a crucial goal to salvage the draw. The defender had to be brought off in the second half, but it seems he may have avoided a serious injury as he came into the match carrying a knock. Calafiori has plenty of upside, even as a more defensively-minded full-back.
