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.
They say that a student will always be better than the master, but in the case of Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta, the master continues to outperform his student. Perhaps at their next meeting, Arteta will demonstrate to him that he has learnt and improved. I'm not anticipating much from this match because, based on their recent performances, it's highly uncertain for me. Although the match may not conclude in a goalless draw, I'm not sure if it will end in a draw or if one team will triumph over the other.
The encounter between Manchester City and Arsenal will have a high level of match intensity. Due to Manchester City's recent loss to Wolves, Manchester City would come out fighting to win the game, while Arsenal would do everything in their power to exact revenge and show their fans that they are capable of winning the Premier League this season
The reality that Manchester City can lose other games, like the defeat to Wolves, prevents me from dreaming that they will win the Premier League this season, even if they defeat Arsenal once more.
The conclusion cannot be reached just yet because Manchester City was defeated by wolves. This is only their first loss of the season, and losing a game is usual as the season progresses. Their ability to reduce the amount of losses in order to maintain their lead is the greatest thing to do right now. In terms of the competition, they remain the frontrunner to win the Premier League this season. The perceptions may change later, but for now, they remain the Premier League title favourites.
