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.

I don't know how Arteta's tactics is going to be like in this game,It is a game that would really be tough to predict,and considering that Arsenal are at home,they won't want to lose again to Manchester City, especially when they are playing at home infront of the wonderful fans.While Mancity will be playing without two star players, Debruyne and Rodri who is out for injury and red card.Mancity have lost the two games they played without Rodri,and Rodri isn't going to be available for this one.
However, Arsenal are not also complete in their squad,it is yet to be know whether Saka will play or not because of the injury he sustained in the Lens game,He needs to be checked properly before the weekend game.

Let me be direct: Why is everyone under the impression that Arsenal, even at home, can beat Manchester City? They're without Debruyne and Rodri, but don't kid ourselves! Manchester City is lauded on merit. Their team, even when disorganized, is difficult, right? The idea that their absence will hobble City bothers me. In their recent matches against Arsenal, this club has shown impressive skill and planning, winning and drawing. Could team loyalty's political nature be clouding reasonable judgment? Arsenal, while wonderful, need more than home turf advantage to win this match, and I for one am not convinced

Probably cu zit would be interesting later in season. I hope that Arsenal could be champ this year now to see again MNC. Hates even when was MNU era with Ferguson. This is my favorite league and I would like to see some action not just on the start of the season but also in the end with several clubs battle for this title. Personally hate to see usual suspects.
