The Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester City on February 2nd is highly anticipated, given the current standings and form of both teams. Arsenal, sitting in second place, boasts an impressive unbeaten streak of 13 matches in the Premier League, making them slight favorites for this encounter . In contrast, Manchester City currently occupies fourth place and has shown inconsistency in their recent performances. This context sets the stage for a competitive matchup that could have significant implications for both teams' title aspirations.
With Liverpool topping Bournemouth the day prior, Arsenal look to keep pace at the top of the Premier League table as they welcome Manchester City to Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The Gunners are nine points back of the leaders and cannot afford to fall further back in the race. With Liverpool seemingly catching every break possible, there's zero room for error during the chase.
Facing Man City is always a test, but in their current form, Arsenal have a chance to make a real statement of intent. Pep Guardiola has faced real challenges this season, with the thin midfield and the struggles of certain attacking players amid an injury crisis.
Arsenal possible starting lineup: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Havertz, Martinelli
Manchester City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Nunes, Akanji, Stones, Gvardiol; Silva, Kovacic, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Marmoush
Myles Lewis-Skelly saw the harsh red card he picked up against Wolverhampton Wanderers last week rescinded and will be available for the weekend.
However, Arsenal are still without influential attacking duo Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, while right-backs Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White also remain on the treatment table.
The betting odds reflect Arsenal's status as favorites with a money line of -103 compared to City's +295 Predictions suggest a potential scoreline of 2-0 in favor of Arsenal due to their solid home form and attacking prowess.
