The highlight of game week 5 takes place at the Etihad when Arsenal take on Man City.
16:30 Sunday
Two Premier League giants come together this week as last season’s top two clash at the Etihad this weekend.
Man City vs Arsenal Prediction
Manchester City are the only side in the top four tiers of English football to have maintained a 100% start to the season.
While they drew a blank against Inter, they have won their last 13 league matches, which bodes well for Sunday's visit of Arsenal.
The Gunners claimed all the spoils in a backs-to-the-wall display at Tottenham last week and held out for a point against Atalanta on Thursday night.
Arsenal don't have the best record at the Etihad Stadium, though they did manage a 0-0 draw with City here last season.
While City were unable to break Inter down on Wednesday night, they should feel confident of making it five league wins on the spin on Sunday afternoon.
Score Prediction: Man City 2-1 Arsenal
