Arsenal
Man City
  • David Raya missed the midweek 2-1 win at Girona due to injury and will be assessed.
  • Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White are missing for the home side.
  • Ethan Nwaneri may get the nod to start from the right on Sunday.
  • Oscar Bobb wasn't fit enough for the bench in midweek and will be assessed.

Prediction

  • Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to five matches with a 2-1 win at Girona on Wednesday night. However, the Gunners have won only two of their last five at the Emirates, which includes cup defeats to Manchester United and Newcastle.
  • Manchester City booked a playoff spot in the Champions League on Wednesday as they came from behind to beat Club Brugge. Pep Guardiola's side are unbeaten in six in the league, winning four.
  • Arsenal left it late to win this game last season but a share of the spoils wouldn't come as a surprise.

  • Dont let Partey play at full back anymore. Please extend 2 years contract for him.

  • Guardiola should resign and City to find a new manager!

  • Akanji and Ortega on Man Utd radar?

  • Manchester City are a small club - confirmed.

  • Good to see that City is back in shape.

  • Stay humble, ey!

  • Haaland must be regretting signing the 10 year contract :)

  • @Marbella Do you think Man. City will survive the 115 charges against them? If you're connected in depth with the case of course.

  • @PunterBloke I think they know something that's why their "form"

  • @PunterBloke MC have obviously very good lawyers but i personally think they will get a huge fine and points reduction.

  • I used to say Guardiola's headache is the stars and how to rotate the team every week. But i guess the most impact on his stumble and the team slip up started since he was under the process of divorcing his wife. Remember,they've been together for 30 years,met in 1994 and married in 2014,got three children. He lost his $ 10 M mansion to his wife in Barcelona. Then he's under pressure of the verdict from the 115 charges. Not easy to manage a team during such circumstances.

  • @PunterBloke He should quit then.. No mercy when you are terrible in your job, unless you rely on excuses for a living.. Any other excuse you want to make up for him??

  • @Kingjigga Iguess he has no other option. He did good for a decade,now time to reshuffle the organization from top down to the players.

  • I feel sorry only for two young players in City: Haaland and Foden. Those two would be both driving forces in a normal team, under a normal coach, instead of the blind man called Guardiola!

  • Stay humble, eh....

  • City needs a coach who is worth his money, not this current loser who puts out a defense made of Akanji (gives the ball away on his first touch of the game, like a child), Stones (who does not seem to know that in the moment of facing a shot, he should NOT turn his back to the ball because he cannot control the direction of the deflection of the ball), and Nunez, who never beat his man on the right wing and is not able to see that he needs to sign actual defenders, not these clowns who pretend to be defenders.

  • Man City win, btts both teams to get a card. 13/2 Buying money

  • @Bigsean76 City too lazy to make tackles, feel sorry for that prediction

  • @Bigsean76 HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • Arsenal’s performance against top 8 teams in the table this season have been worrying. They have struggled to a positive result most of the times against these teams. City who have had a great result against Arsenal should be able to compete here. Goals should come here. BTTS & o2.5 - 1.97

  • BBTS and Over 2.5 goals @ 2.00 Odds.

  • @Marbella Sorry i meant BTTS

  • Yellow cards. Late tackles. Lot of yapping. ..over 4.5 yellow cards. Ov 12 fouls

  • Btts is the most safe here

  • Low scoring match , Arsenal will play stop the bus style

  • @Delpiero69 That didn't age well

  • @Delpiero69 Aged like milk.

  • It's not worth to watch "big", expensive teams nowadays, because interestingly enough they don't have the know how to contract truly great coaches. Yesterday's game between Nottingham and Brighton was a blast, but this game here will be boring as hell: when all you do is slow the game down, then you dig yourself in a football hole from where there is no escape! I wonder how come some fans don't resort to rotten eggs and tomatoes like in the good old days, to ask for some respect on the stands!

  • @Zoltan What is your point dude ?!

  • @Delpiero69 he has some rotten eggs already looking for market

  • @Delpiero69 he just cryin

  • 0-0 or 1-0 for either team, antifootball at its best

  • @koziol.mutant now not so sure after Spurs and United "delivered" that

  • City win and BTS

  • Stay humble, ey!

  • City win. Haaland ATG

  • city double chance

  • @FF2021 U wot mate?
