Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Arsenal vs Man City on Sunday is perhaps the biggest game of the season so far. Will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. Should be a titanic battle, I have a feeling City will edge it though.

I also feel like that, Manchester City will still dominate their meeting with Arsenal and if you look at the results of Manchester City's matches since matchweek 1, they only experienced defeat against Wolves last week. So far strong teams like Newcastle and West Ham have also been defeated by Pep Guardiola's squad and could it be Arsenal's turn this season? Moreover, Manchester City is currently also in its best performance after beating Leipzig again in the Champions League, while Arsenal actually got bad results in the Champions League after losing to Lens. I think the match will be quite fierce and my prediction is a possible score of 1-2 or 2-3 for Manchester City to win.

If you look at the statistics, it is very difficult for Arsenal to win against Manchester City in every meeting, Manchester City is always superior, Arteta needs to learn a lot from his failures so that when he meets Manchester City he should be much better prepared to prove that Arsenal can beat him, playing at home as the host should be Arsenal is much more favored but in reality Manchester City always manages to steal points.

I believe that Manchester City will continue their winning trend to maintain their position at the top of the standings, especially considering that last week's loss to Wolves certainly made the competition at the top of the standings even fiercer, Manchester City's opportunity to stay away, namely beating Arsenal this week, is a great opportunity.

However, Manchester City has one disadvantage ahead of the match against Arsenal, their main defensive midfielder, Rodri, is still absent due to a red card in the match against Nottingham. Are Manchester City really confident that Rodri's absence can secure their defense? Moreover, the previous defeat against Wolves was due to their defense being quite fragile. Apart from all that, I think there will be a lot of exciting things in the big match this week. Manchester City may always be ahead of statistics but Arsenal also still has a chance to break this.
