We may expect a winner between the two teams when they have faced off. Although this Arsenal match vs Manchester City will be extremely difficult, I'm expect a very standard and good performance on that particular day. I know Arsenal will never disappoint their fans, they will put in so much effort to put Manchester City under pressure, cause I doubt that they can keep their consistency and top ranking. Don't said under probability it's still a possibility even though Arsenal faces a tough opponent. Given their recent performance, I have no fear for them, even though they will face a formidable squad. Arsenal has the capability of winning this season's Premier League.
The upcoming match between Arsenal and Manchester City undoubtedly can't become a title deciding match considering the points gap between three teams are so close. Any winner will not create a wider points gap to Liverpool. Arsenal may indeed put in a big effort and strive to pressure Manchester City, but the strength of Manchester City is not easy to break down. Expecting a straightforward victory for Arsenal might be overly optimistic.
Arsenal being underdog should relieve a bit of pressure, and they should use this to boost their fighting spirit. Arsenal may have the potential to win matches and compete for the Premier League title, but their competitor is not only Manchester City, there is also Liverpool. This situation is different to their experience of last season when there were only two horses race. They will not able to feel the relief if they won against Manchester, because Liverpool will still haunt them.
