Manchester City vs. Arsenal: Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

On Sunday afternoon, Manchester City will host Arsenal in a Premier League matchup that pits the two teams who finished atop last season against one other.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

In a major Premier League match, Manchester City will face Arsenal this Saturday.

With four wins under their belts this season, City has gotten off to a fantastic start and is now atop the league.

However, they were frustrated with a scoreless draw in Wednesday night's Champions League encounter against Inter Milan. They may be without key player Kevin De Bruyne after he was substituted off due to an injury.

If Pep Guardiola's team loses at Arsenal, who knocked four points off their lead last season, the Gunners will take over first place.

After overcoming difficulty to earn a crucial 1-0 victory against arch-rivals Tottenham last week, Mikel Arteta's squad drew 0-0 in the Champions League against Atalanta.

Guardiola said that City's medical team verified De Bruyne couldn't participate in Inter's second half. Therefore, the Belgian must be regarded as a doubtful starter.

The winners will undoubtedly benefit from Oscar Bobb and Nathan Ake's presence.

After tests showed that midfielder Martin Odegaard had sustained a substantial ankle ligament injury, Arsenal will be without him for a long time. Declan Rice has served his ban and is available to play again, while Thursday's lineup included Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori.
