I also hope that Arsenal will win against City, but judging rationally, the probability of this is not so great - look at the previous games between these clubs. I’m not a fan of going by history, but Arsenal actually have a terrible record against City, except for the last meeting, it’s almost zero wins and almost all losses. I will be happy if Arsenal at least draws. This will at least leave City behind, and Liverpool will presumably be able to increase their advantage over both clubs. Yes, the personal meeting is very important, but there is a more or less serious distance ahead, so the rest of the games will decide everything.
This is like a final for both teams and if they lose it is almost certain that the team will be out of the race for the Premier League title this season.
We don't need to look at what happened in the past, of course this season has been different in terms of team strength and I see that Arsenal has a big enough chance to get points in this match, draw or win the match.
Most people expect that Manchester City will lose to Arsenal, maybe we can't look back in time but there is always a past that repeats itself, yes this is like a final match because the top three of the standings are very competitive, it is almost said that if they lose, they will lose their position and be followed by the other two.
I am very rare at the end of the season the fight is very tight with very thin competition by three teams, the draw between Liverpool and Manchester City makes everything interesting and sees a glimmer of hope for the other teams to continue to catch up, if you get a draw against Arsenal it is likely that Liverpool will return to lead the standings.
