Written by Arsenal will host Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium in a much anticipated weekend action. This will be a very great game, owing to the fact that the two clubs have been having their own share of problems this season when it comes to injuries.
Arsenal will however dismantle Manchester City even with the thin squad that Mikel Arteta has and the lack of a clinical striker like Erling Haaland. The game will be played at the Emirates Stadium and Arsenal has not lost in that stadium for a long time now.
The fans will give them all the morale and motivation that they will need in order to get all the three points. The Arsenal players cannot relax because they know very well that, Manchester City has woken up and they are now in a winning trajectory.
Arsenal will also beat Manchester City because Mikel Arteta has mastered the art of beating Pep Guardiola. It happened last season and it can still happen. Arsenal can set the records straight by not losing against Manchester City in two consecutive seasons.
Last seasons the two legs ended in a win for Arsenal and a draw. The first leg of this season, the two teams had drawn and therefore the only thing remaining for Arsenal now is to get a win.
Arsenal’s defence is also very solid now and all the dependable defenders are there like William Saliba, Gabriel, Jurrien Timber, Myles-Lewis Skelly and Riccardo Calafiori. This means that Thomas Partey will not be played out of position.
If Thomas Partey will be played in the midfield alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, then they will overpower Manchester City’s midfield since they will not have the player of Rodri’s caliber to neutralize that midfield.
The forward department will also be very sharp because for now only Bukayo Saka’s presence will be missed in the game, however Ethan Nwaneri is ready to step up and he will be a thorn in the flesh of the Manchester City defenders.
