You sound like Manchester City will not lose to Arsenal, even though their first eleven are all injured. The Arsenal of this season is different from the Arsenal of last season, and they won against Manchester City at the Emirate Stadium this season. Arsenal is consistent and scores a lot of goals against their opponents. Arsenal is capable of beating Manchester City on Sunday.
We'll see what happens this Sunday, because even though several Manchester City players have suffered injuries, I don't think this will dampen their enthusiasm in fighting to win the match at home. Even though everyone knows that Arsenal is currently still quite good and they could win at home to Manchester City. However, it will never be easy for Arsenal because both teams already know that one of them is a candidate to become champion this season.
This match is difficult to predict because Arsenal is getting better day by day and Man City is always ahead even though they lost to Arsenal in the first meeting. I think this match will be hot and both teams will attack each other because three points are very important for both teams to stay on the EPL Champion path. If the two teams only draw, of course Liverpool will benefit from this match because they will face a weak team, namely Brigthon.
However, what is interesting in this match is that the momentum of the international break is reflected in both clubs because both teams have players who are injured after playing for their countries. Most clubs suffered losses after their top players suffered injuries after buying their country, it could be said that this was a wasted friendly match. Moreover, some of these teams are having very crucial matches for various reasons such as relegation, titles and the top 4.
