The Cityzens have roared back in recent seasons, but the Gunners have managed to hold their own in past encounters.

Arsenal vs Man City prediction

Clashes between Arsenal and Man City have been typically tight in recent seasons, with both teams not giving much away.

The Gunners got slammed for such an approach against Liverpool earlier this season, which saw them fall to defeat.

In front of an expectant home crowd, it’s unclear if that game plan will change this time around.

Man City have looked porous again at times this season, which could open up an opportunity for the home side to capitalise.

However, Guardiola’s side cannot be written off, not least due to the quality they have in forward areas.

Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Man City.
