Man City vs Arsenal: Will Tottenham's top spot be wrested back?
This match presents a formidable challenge, as Arsenal and Man City clash in a bid to bolster their points tally, with the top six positions in the EPL separated by a slim margin. Notably, Tottenham recently secured a narrow victory over Luton with just 10 players, extending their lead in the EPL standings to a 2-point advantage over Man City, currently sitting at the eighth spot.
Last season, Arsenal held a significant lead and were touted as potential EPL champions, only to be chased down and overtaken by Man City in the race for the title. The current rivalry between Arsenal and Man City has reached its pinnacle, as they stand on equal footing, making it exceedingly challenging to predict the outcome of this clash.
However, in my opinion, Man City holds the upper hand in the upcoming match. Despite the absence of Rodri, they still have the likes of Foden, Philips, and Doku ready to fill midfield positions.
Of course, Tottenham position at the top of the standings is not very safe because if one team manages to get 3 points then Tottenham ranking will be shifted by these two teams. It's just that Arsenal must be able to beat Manchester City with a big score if they want to sit at the top of the standings because if they win with a narrow score then Tottenham will be superior in goal productivity and will still lead the standings this week. But if Manchester City wins this match, Manchester City will automatically return to the top of the standings.
Apart from that, in tomorrow match, Liverpool will also face Brighton, which will be a match that is difficult to predict because Brighton is a strong team this season. Well, Liverpool have just had their winning streak stopped by Tottenham in the previous match, so it is believed that this match will be quite exciting in tomorrow's match. I think Liverpool, who lost points in the previous match, will try to turn things around in this match by winning. But what is certain is that Brighton will not give them a chance.
Man City has been very brilliant, especially in those crucial areas on the field of play which has handed them several wins ever since the commencement of the Premier League this season. Despite the loss they have encountered, which is expected in football matches, no matter how strong the team is, they have been consistent physically, mentally, and strategically it has worked for them. They lost to Wolf away and went to the Champion league match and got a sensational win against RB. Leipzig, which has given them a good boost ahead of the Arsenal clash. I will not be surprised if they achieve three points from Arsenal.
