The opponent that Manchester City will face in the next match is Arsenal and the three big clubs are competing to win and reach first place. I am sure that Arsenal and Manchester City will use all their strength with the aim of winning and will not let the result end in a draw.
No doubt both Man City and Arsenal will fight with their best efforts. The condition of these teams are very well lately. So, we can expect to see an interesting match. However, Man City seems to have the advantage because the match will be held in Man City home. It is a crucial match for both teams, Man City must prepare everything perfectly. So, this will be a big challenge for Arteta and Arsenal for an away match against Man City. But personally, I think Arsenal and man City can share points in this match (a draw result).
In my opinion, Manchester City is still consistent and still like last season, it's just that other teams like Arsenal and Liverpool have corrected their shortcomings and made last season's situation better this season.
Man City isn't as consistent as in the last season. It is a bit different with Man City performance in second half of the season in 2022-2023. Arsenal and Liverpool become stronger, that makes Man City can't play very consistent like in the last season.
