What is clear, I still support Arsenal. yes, as a true fan I am happy to see Arsenal win game after game. As we know, the Premier League only leaves 9 more matches for Arsenal until this season ends. 8 points ahead of City, does not make Arsenal in a safe position.
Although Arsenal are way better than Liverpool this season but I see the odds are close between the two teams. It will be good for City to see gunners drop points tho even though it will be difficult to happen.
City will face Southampton, I assume there will not be much challenge there.
Liverpool is really bad and it was seen against Chelsea aswell,they got lucky that Var cancelled two goals for Chelsea. They might wake up against Arsenal but i really doubt it . It would be good that Liverpool wins so that Man City can get close and make this title race intresting.
I'm not going to completely rule out Liverpool, because they could be unexpected and very impressive in this game, even though it's difficult. Arsenal also shouldn't underestimate this match, even though Liverpool are in a bad state, they are still a big club that cannot be underestimated. Manchester City is the first club that wants Arsenal to lose points in this match, because that way their chances of being able to catch up and shift Arsenal at the top of the standings are bigger. Moreover, they will still meet in the second round this season.
Oh yes speaking of the meeting between Manchester City and Arsenal, of course it will be a very decisive match for these two clubs. Manchester City has a big chance to beat Arsenal, moreover they will play this match at the Etihad which is their headquarters. I think Arsenal will play very carefully, for them even a draw will mean a lot.
