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.
Losing six points in two consecutive matches is a big loss for Manchester City, the defeat against Arsenal may be acceptable because Arsenal is one of the teams capable of providing competition for Manchester City this season. The absence of key players could have an impact on Manchester City performance, Pep Guardiola must devise a strategy to cover his team's weaknesses in the last two matches. Returning to winning ways is the only way Manchester City can maintain competition with Arsenal. The domestic league journey has not yet reached the middle of the season, there are still many matches to be played and anything can still happen during that duration.
