- Man City v Arsenal
- Sunday, April 19
- 16:30 BST
Manchester City require a victory this weekend and the club’s supporters can catch all the action, no matter where they are based.
Only a few weeks ago, Pep Guardiola was receiving strong criticism for Manchester City’s dull and unimaginative performances.
The Citizens suffered a heavy defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League. On top of this, they were held to draws against bottom half Premier League teams such as Spurs, West Ham and Nottingham Forest.
However, Nico O’Reilly charged City towards victory in the Carabao Cup final which kickstarted a fine run of form.
Man City have won three successive matches without conceding a goal, while their next opponent have gone the opposite way.
Indeed, Arsenal have been defeated by Southampton and Bournemouth respectively since losing the cup final, and failed to beat Sporting CP in a midweek Champions League fixture.
Man City will continue their winning ways
Our prediction for Sunday afternoon is that Man City will have what it takes to get the better of the Gunners for a second time this season.
The hosts are looking strong in every area of the pitch, with creativity across the attack and a firm foundation at the back.
Rayan Cherki looks more and more dangerous in each passing game and his combination play with Antoine Semenyo and Erling Haaland has been frightening at times. Jeremy Doku has also been a threat and scored last weekend.
Then there is Nico O’Reilly, who scored a header at Stamford Bridge and has quite the record against Arsenal this season. Having him fit to start is really positive for Pep Guardiola.
It feels like Arsenal will sit back and choose their moments to try and hurt City. However, the Sky Blues have too much firepower and will claim all three points in this one.
Score prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Arsenal
