Arsenal vs Man City Prediction

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat of Girona in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, coming from behind with a Jorginho penalty and a winner scored by Ethan Nwaneri. They have now gone unbeaten in five matches across all competitions since losing to Manchester United on penalties in the third round of the FA Cup but that run has featured giving up a 2-0 lead against Aston Villa, having to come from behind, as mentioned, against Girona, as well as against Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby, edging past Wolverhampton Wanderers after Wolves had joined them on ten men last weekend and a defeat of Dinamo Zagreb. Manchester City managed to squeeze themselves into the top 24 of the UEFA Champions League in midweek with a come from behind 3-1 defeat of Club Brugge at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side have spent around £120 million this month and may not be stopped there after their dreadful autumn and early winter run of form. They are fighting for a top four spot this season but continue to, just like Arsenal, lack a fluency and rhythm in attack. Given that lack of fluency for both sides as well as what is potentially on the line at the Emirates Stadium, a low-scoring affair seems quite likely for this one.
