Manchester City host Arsenal in a decisive Premier League clash that could have a major impact on the title race.
Prediction: Manchester City to Win
City’s dominant form and Arsenal’s recent struggles suggest the hosts have the edge.
Manchester City are once again peaking at the right time in the season. They come into this match on a run of three consecutive wins without conceding, including victories over direct rivals such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea - each by a margin of at least two goals. At home, City are extremely strong, unbeaten in their last 14 league matches and scoring at least twice in the majority of them. A win here would put them within touching distance of Arsenal, with a game in hand.
Arsenal, meanwhile, appear to be feeling the pressure. They have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions and have suffered setbacks in both domestic cups. Even in the Champions League, their performances have not been fully convincing despite progressing. The recent home loss to Bournemouth adds further concern, and their record at the Etihad is poor, having not won there since 2015.
With City in top form and Arsenal struggling for consistency, the hosts look well positioned to secure a crucial victory in the title race.
