Arsenal haven't lost to Man City in four games and we predict that run to continue.
16:30 Sunday
Arsenal welcome fellow title contenders Man City to the Emirates in an early season clash that might have big implications on the final league table.
Arsenal vs Man City Prediction
- Arsenal have generally had an awful record against Man City over the last decade but Mikel Arteta finally seems to have cracked it against Pep Guardiola with two wins, both at the Emirates, and two draws from their last four Premier League meetings. The Gunners are performing well even without some key players like Bukayo Saka and will believe they have more than enough to beat a vulnerable City outing.
- Guardiola's side got back to winning ways against rivals United, but if City have any title aspirations this season then three points here is a must. Failing to win here could see City as many as nine points behind leaders Liverpool just five games into the season.
Score Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Man City

Arsenal Team News
- Martin Ødegaard is doubtful with a shoulder problem, which forced him to miss Arsenal's Champions League win in Bilbao.
- If he isn't fit to start, Mikel Merino could occupy the number ten role.
- William Saliba is available, but Mikel Arteta might overlook the Frenchman given the form of Cristhian Mosquera in his absence.
Man City Team News
- Phil Foden will start again following his fine display in the Manchester derby.
- Omar Marmoush (knee) is set to miss out once again, while Rayan Cherki (thigh) and Mateo Kovacic (Achilles) remain sidelined.
- Rayan Ait-Nouri has been ruled out for over a month with an ankle injury, meaning Nico O'Reilly could keep his place at left-back.
- John Stones is likely to be available.

Arsenal to Win
Arsenal have taken points off City in four straight league meetings and look confident despite key absences. City’s away form has been patchy and they’ve struggled to control games against top-six opposition.
Nico O'Reilly 1+ Foul Committed
Noni Madueke has been a nusence for defenders down the right hand side of Arsenal's attack and youngster Nico O'Reilly is tasked with dealing with him in this game. O'Reilly has fouled in his last two games and I expect to see another here today.
Phil Foden 1+ Shot On Target
Foden is starting to play a bigger role in the Man City side again and his attacking output from the midfield so far has been notable. He has had 4 shots in his last two games and hit the target three times, scoring once in the process.
