Arsenal vs. Manchester City Predictions

• Where: Emirates Stadium, London, England
• When: Monday, February 3, 12:30 AM

Over the past two years, Arsenal and City have intensified their rivalry. The Gunners unsuccessfully contested Guardiola’s machinery twice in the battle for the Premier League title, which sure as hell left some bad memories for the London crew. They are again chasing the title, while City wants to secure a top-four spot and the Champions League ticket for the following year.

Arsenal vs. Manchester City Preview

Arsenal

Unlike Man City, the Gunners had to travel this Wednesday once they met Girona in Spain. However, that won’t be an alibi if they post a poor result on Sunday. Arsenal desperately needs three points from this contest; otherwise, they might lose the pace with Liverpool.

Arteta’s crew has performed poorly in the past five appearances at the Emirates. They have had just two wins, one tie, and two losses. The defense was problematic because it allowed at least a goal in each but one event.

Since Bukayo Saka picked up an injury, this team struggles to be lethal upfront. That’s nothing odd, considering that Saka has 10 assists in the Premiership at the moment, trailing only Mo Salah with 13.

Manchester City

City is solid right now compared to what It looked like, let’s say, a month and a half ago. There has been one loss in the previous eight meetings, two ties, and five triumphs. The latest was against Chelsea, significantly boosting the team’s morale.

That 3-1 triumph didn’t come too easy for the Citizens. Chelsea took the lead early on and had a couple more chances to increase it, yet failed to use it. Then we saw the City’s fury, with the team netting three times in a row and claiming three points.

Still, their road performances have been more than questionable. City allowed two or more goals in eight of the previous ten outings, which is why the Citizens have just two wins during this stretch.

Arsenal vs. Manchester City Prediction

Arsenal isn’t as sharp in the attack as before. Simply, the Gunners struggle to score goals, and that’s why we don’t believe that Arteta wants to put pressure on Manchester City. More likely, this contest will see both units being conservative and cautious. That’s the reason why we pick under 2.5 goals.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
