First of all, City will be focused on the Champions League match with Brugge, for Guardiola this is the number one priority, only a win is needed and it seems to me that they are not even thinking about the match with Arsenal now. But when it comes to this match, a win over Arsenal will mean reducing the gap to 3 points. Arsenal lost points in the last matches with Aston Villa and Newcastle, and City began to play better, so I think City will not lose to Arsenal.

I actually meant the rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester City for the Premier League title in the recent years. Not the next game between them. But still thanks to you I remembered they were going to have a face-to-face in the league in only 2 days. Grin

Manchester City won against Club Brugge by 3-1 and made it to playoffs. But when it comes to their performance, it was a poor one. At least in the first half. They don't look convincing to do great things against big teams there.

Here is the odds for the upcoming game. I wouldn't bet on any side to win. I would probably prefer BTTS & over 2.5 goals @2.07 for this one. It has become a popular bet option of mine recently for this kind of games.

Will Man City face another nightmare? because they should really remember that Arsenal is a real obstacle in their first meeting. Arsenal didn't just manage to hold a draw, but they also injured Rodri for a long time, and besides that after the match against Arsenal, Man City began to experience a decline in performance, and it really frustrates Guardiola and his players.

Now Man City again has to face Arsenal in no better condition than the first meeting because their performance is still inconsistent, and this time Arsenal has the advantage because they are playing at home.
