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.
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.
I just came across an article stating that Manchester City won the last 12 Premier League matches against Arsenal, but I know that things have changed over the years. Still that statistic is really telling. Was wondering whether Guardiola is still suspended, but seems he is not.
Guardiola is immensely complaining about Rodri missing the game and that the referee sent him off anyway. Can't recall the foul right now, but I am sure Manchester City has someone on the bench who is just good enough to play instead of Rodri.
