Event # EPL – Manchester City vs Arsenal – 10:30 AM
The Premier League’s two heavyweights, Manchester City and Arsenal, will treat fans to a mouth-watering super Sunday shootout at the Etihad this Sunday, as the defending champions, Manchester City, aims to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. Indeed, Manchester City have started the season in ominous form, scoring goals for fun, with top sharpshooter Erling Haaland netting nine goals in just four matches so far. Even though they got a scare when conceding an early goal against Brentford at the weekend, City eventually came roaring back to win 2-1 and maintained their impressive start to the new campaign. The win marked the first time since November 2019 that City have recorded back-to-back wins despite having conceded the opening goal. Indeed, this will be a pivotal early season clash between the two title contenders with City looking to maintain their impressive unbeaten 23 matches on home soil.
Arsenal, on the other hand, pushed champions Manchester City the closest last season and lost only by a point on the final day of the season. They have started the season unbeaten in their opening four games with the only blemish being a 1-1 home draw against Brighton. However, they quickly put that setback behind them by beating Tottenham 1-0 last weekend in their north London derby, to signal their intent that they intend to fight for the title this season. The win against Tottenham made it six straight for Arsenal on the road, marking the first time since 2013 that they have achieved this impressive feat. However, worryingly for Arsenal fans is the fact that they haven’t defeated Manchester City away from home in the league since 2015. Last season’s draw at the Etihad was the first point they have taken at City’s ground since May 2016.
Key Stats
• Manchester City – Manchester City are unbeaten at home in their last 23 matches in all competitions. Indeed, Manchester City are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches and have scored at least one goal for 22 consecutive matches.
• Arsenal – Arsenal last away win at Manchester City was in 2015. However, they went unbeaten against City last season and are unbeaten in their last six overall matches.
• Both sides – When both teams met in the reverse fixture last season, Arsenal won 1-0 at home and drew at the Etihad to go unbeaten against Manchester City last season.
