I also expect Manchester City to start a winning streak after the break. The loss to Arsenal was a significant loss for them, but it was a predictable one. After all, Manchester City only loses three or four games at most in a season and this was one of them. It's bad that they lost to their direct rivals, but they can make up for it by winning their other matches.
Losing to Arsenal certainly felt more painful for Man City. Because after all, currently, Arsenal is his biggest and strongest enemy in the EPL. Every league definitely has matches with high levels of tension, and the EPL is no different. Man City and Arsenal are matches that are definitely very classy. So when you win this match, it will create a lot of prestige. Unfortunately at that time, Man City could not play optimally due to the absence of their two key players. And this may continue, so Pep still has to rack his brains so that they remain strong for the next matches.
Pep Guardiola will definitely make improvements after this defeat. So Man City will be better in the next matches. My estimate is that Man City will indeed return to their winning trend despite all this. Because if Man City experiences defeat once again, it will have a negative impact on the self-confidence of the players in the Man City squad itself. So Man City will definitely try not to experience defeat again. And losing to Arsenal could be said to be surprising but it could also be said to be normal. Because Arsenal is currently much more stable. Meanwhile, Man City is currently experiencing difficulties due to injuries to several players. Against Brighton might be the match that determines whether Man City's performance returns or not.
