A difficult match indeed but Arsenal if they want to be staying ahead of City they are forced to win this game.Of course this is no easy task especially after consecutive bad results in the Premier League from Chelsea,at least they saved their face in the Champions League by winning during the midweek game.Most probably is going to end a draw and also most probably going to end both teams to score yes.I personally fancy an Arsenal win though in this weekend derby of London.
Arsenal don't have experience at top of table recent years and it is a big test for them. It is not easy to repeat the 2003 - 2004 season and it is hard to stay at the first position until the season ending. Arsenal of course should try to get as best result as possible from the derby. However, if they lose it, they will still have a lot of things to work.
If they are strong, they will work hard to reclaim the first position in future. The final ending is important because it decides the champions of Premier League in this season. Arsenal can lose a match, even it is a big one, but they can also win a battle in a long season too.
What I don't like is the big mouth of Arsenal fans, aside from that, they deserve to win a trophy this season, especially the EPL. It's indeed a long year since they lifted such a trophy as 03/04 is a way long which is almost 2 decades. Even if they did not win, they have fought well and I believe they would continue to give impressive fights to remain in the top three, which is good. Also, I doubt if Man City would not win the trophy, or better stated that the winning is between Man City and Arsenal.
