Predicted XI: Arsenal (A)

Manchester City will be looking to take advantage of Chelsea’s recent loss to Crystal Palace with a win over rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s men go into the game in fourth place after Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Everton on Saturday, which puts them above City into third.

Arsenal have had a terrible run of results, with four losses in their last five league games. The debate over Arsene Wenger’s tenure at the club seems to have become an issue that is affecting the team’s performances on the pitch. City could use this as the perfect opportunity to get a result.

Both sides have immense, attacking talent going forward and can pose a threat to any opposition. Defensively, however, they have been heavily criticised for disappointing performances this season. So we can expect an intense, end-to-end game of football.

Here is how we expect Guardiola to set up his City side for the game at the Emirates on Sunday.
