Arsenal vs Manchester City 08.09.2023 Prediction: Premier League

Match Overview

Arsenal and Manchester City meet each other in a clash that is bound to decide the future of the Premier League this season in more than one way at the Emirates Stadium in London on October 8, Sunday. Arsenal had led Manchester City for long periods of last season but choked at the latter stages and ended up conceding a potential title to the Citizens. 

Key Highlights 

Pep Guardiola's men will be keen on putting one past Mikel Arteta's Gunners and try to shut down the revolution brewing there early. The last time these two teams met was in the Community Shield in August earlier this year, where the Gunners had beaten City via penalites. City will be keen on avenging that defeat and going one-up over their opponents. 

Injury Report

While Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Martinelli appear to be sidelined for Arsenal, there are question marks over Bukayo Saka too. Manchester City might have to make do without Rodri, who is suspended and Zack Steffen, who is injured. Kevin de Bruyne has been ruled out for a long time. 

Prediction

At the time of writing, Manchester City are ranked right at the top of the league table with 18 points to their name whereas Arsenal are perched two spots below them in the same standings, in the third position, with seventeen points inside their kitty. If Arsenal win this game, they will stand the chance of leading the table. We expect BTTS (both teams to win) in this game.
