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.

Even though arsenal was in a good shape but it will face manshester city the strongest team in the EPL. Did you forget how arsenal was also in the same vibes last season but manchester city was taking the trophy?
It's sad to say that but the same thing will come again for arsenal. Manchester city is unlikely try to miss and opportunity to grab three points from arsenal soon.

It doesn't even matter whether home or away. City is always trying to use its best performance to destroy arsenal. Arteta's boys will be facing another tougher match. Im not sure if i would pick arsenal but btts looked like the safest bet right now.

The thing that really saddened me to see rodri will miss this match due to the red card. I hope that city will able to take full points from arsenal. It will make arteta's boys face another disastrous season.
Arsenal has not been favored by bookies even though the upcoming game will happen away for manchester city.

Manchester city is ready to take trophy again this season.
