The Gunners will host Manchester City on Sunday in the derby match of the 30th round in The Premier League. This will be the 190th match in the Head to Head battle between these two teams. The Arsene Wenger’s players have a big advantage, as they have won 95 games against The Citizens, while the Pep Guardiola’s players have recorded 50 wins.
To continue with, Arsenal have been through lots of difficult moments this season and I am not sure whether it’s the right time for The Gunners for a match against Manchester City. Arsenal are in a bad form. They have lost 6 of their last 9 competitive matches, including the humiliation against Bayern Munich.
On the other hand, The Citizens felt the disappointment from being knocked out of The Champions League. Even though the Pep Guardiola’s players had an advantage of 5-3 against Monaco, the French team recorded a 3-1 victory at home and eliminated The Citizens.
Manchester City have won 57 points so far, which is 7 more than Arsenal’s record. However, The Citizens have played one game more than The Gunners. The Arsene Wenger’s players haven’t lost a home match against Manchester City since 2013! Since then, Arsenal have won 3 games, while there have been 2 draws. In addition, The Gunners have only lost twice at home in The Premier League this season! Moreover, Man City have lost 2 of their last 5 away league matches.
Petr Cech has received a calf injury in Arsenal’s match against West Bromwich Albion two weeks ago. Santi Cazorla and Lucas Perez will also miss the game for The Gunners. Kevin De Bruyne is doubtful. The Belgian midfielder has a groin injury and will have to pass a late fitness test.
In conclusion, we expect an interesting match with lots of goal-scoring chances. I decided to put my money on “both to score”.
