The Citizens were taken to the cleaners by cross-town rivals Manchester United in the widely anticipated Manchester derby last weekend, the latter posting a 2-1 scorecard. It was a frantic game of the highest quality, Pep Guardiola’s side playing with a high press with the Red Devils hitting them on several breaks.

That loss might well have ended their dreams of bagging a hattrick of consecutive Premier League titles with European Champions Liverpool setting the pace at the top of the standings.

Pep Guardiola’s side cannot afford to drop any more points and with a game against struggling Arsenal on the horizon, the Spanish gaffer will be looking to get his side right back on track with a commanding victory here.

Arsenal have been enduring one of their worst starts to a Premier League campaign this year having picked up a measly 22 points from a possible 48. Their season so far has simply not been all it was cracked up to be.

Submitted to a long winless run dating back to nearly a month ago, the Gunners finally tasted success last time out on the road against West Ham. They were given an early scare when a sublime cross from Pablo Fornals was latched onto by Angelo Ogbonna to give the Hammers the lead.

Despite going behind so early in the game, Freddie Ljungberg and his charges never lost hope, pumping balls into the West Ham area in search of that much-needed equalizer. The pressure soon paid off with the Gunners slotting home three goals in the space of nine minutes to clinch maximum points.

Pepe stole the headlines in the aftermath of the game, with his cracker of a goal, giving the visitors a route back into the game. The club’s supporters must have heaved a huge sigh of relief at finally breaking their losing jinx.

Manchester City, on the other hand, were forced to settle for defeat in front of the home support, thanks to a spirited performance from the Red Devils. The visitors started the game very much on the front foot, bagging two first-half goals to show for their efforts.

However, Pep Guardiola’s men pegged the screws on their opponent throughout the second period of the game as the Red Devils could barely get past midfield. Otamendi’s 85^th minute goal proved nothing but a consolation as the Citizens were condemned to another defeat.

This match-day, the momentum is with the visitors as they will be determined to not let their title go without a fight and will lay blood and sweat bare on the pitch in a bid to achieve this. H2h dominance coupled with the sheer talent within the City ranks should see the visitors through this one.

Arsenal will likely give City a run for their money but do not have enough quality to deprive the visitors of the three points. With just a single win from their previous ten fixtures, their struggles so far is out there for the whole world to see.
