Arsenal will be playing hosts to Man City this weekend and honestly I'm not hoping on Arteta and his boys to win the game. Last week saw Man City being humiliated by a club no one expected to pull it off, Wolves and they are already seeing red. Like literally because they'd be planning on settling the scores with Arsenal who beat them to taking the community shield.
It will be a tough match, but seriously, I am not expecting much from Arsenal that they will be able to win the match against Manchester City, despite the fact that Arsenal is in good shape. I always see that anytime the Arsenal squad is playing Manchester City, they are always playing them with fear. Arsenal boys are always lacking confidence that they will win Manchester City, so with that, they are always trying to play defensive games with Manchester City. I know that Manchester City is facing some challenges now, but I still believe that they are still better than Arsenal. Let us know that Manchester City losing against Wolves does not mean that they have lost form, but let us know that is how games work sometimes.
Another fear that the Gunners might not be able to win against Man City is that Saka is out injured and one might argue that they can do fine without the English winger but we all saw how demoralized they were in yesterday's game after Saka got plagued by an Achilles heel injury that has been bothering him since the end of the 2022/23 season and this will see him missing the top of the table encounter with Man City.
Yes, the Saka injury will seriously affect the team's performances, but even if Saka is there, I am not sure maybe Arsenal can beat Manchester City because Arsenal is not better than Manchester City. But let's just see what will happen this weekend. Maybe we will get a surprise result that goes against the record of many seasons. I don't think Arsenal have been able to defeat Manchester City in the league for over seven years now; even though it happened, I don't think it will be up to two times. So even in their next game, I can't say Arsenal will win, but if possible, they can play a draw.
