I really wonder how the match between the two clubs will be, arsenal now is 8 points ahead man city with one missed match for city, let's say the gap will be 5 points how arteta will start this match, I don't think playing defensively is a good idea because man city can score against any team easily so i believe arsenal must try to score in the beggening of the match

Playing defensively is making arsenal have a very big risk. I meant manchester city is also having a good attacker. Playing defensively was only making arsenal be under pressure by city. If this will happen until the end of game and that will increase the chance for arsenal to lose against manchester city. I can't even deny the fact that if city is also having best attacker in the world. it's better for arsenal to play offensive rather than defense.

Playing defensively was just making its players stressed due to the so many pressures that will come anytime. I think that you should aware of how good manchester city was when it was coming to attack its opponent but i would be so glad if arsenal will take such decision.

The pattern that Arteta stretcher is not a defensive game, but an offensive one. so, you can be sure that in the fight later the two teams will appear to attack each other. both City and Arsenal, both will try to score goals for each other to win his team. plus, this match was decisive for Arsenal to win the league trophy this season.
IMO, Arsenal have the ability to beat City but the problem is how Arteta motivates the overall mentality of the team.

But by the way before that match, both Arsenal and Manchester City will have a series of matches against other teams. which means, changes to the difference in points could have occurred before the City vs Arsenal match. these two teams have the potential to slip up, or stay on the winning path. on the other hand, Manchester City will have a series of busy schedules. plus, crucial matches. because before the game versus Arsenal, City will play matches in several competitions, such as the Champions League, FA Cup. meaning, Pep Guardiola's focus will be divided not only to the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is only focused on one competition. their target is the Premier League, and do their best to keep the top of the table until this season ends. So, let's just follow the development of these two teams.
