I'm looking forward to watching the Arsenal - Manchester City game at the weekend. Manchester City are favoured of course but the gap of odds isn't very big. Because Arsenal are also as good as them in the league these days. In terms of general quality and effort Manchester City are still one step ahead that's for sure.
But this time might be different. It depends on how Arteta will prepare his players for the game. Their last rendezvous here didn't end well for Arsenal if you remember. Arteta is Guardiola's student so maybe he can develop a new strategy to deal with them better this time.
It is a home game for Arsenal, which makes this game more interesting than I would otherwise expect. I think a game at Manchester City's would be a much harder task than this one. Arsenal is in great shape to go for it now, but this game also involves some desire for revenge for last season. If Arsenal beats Manchester City, I think it would allow people to dream again that Manchester City won't pull off a one team show this season again.
