Man City vs Arsenal Tips
Tip 1
Mikel Arteta appeared to suss out the right approach for his Arsenal team to take on Man City last season – not trying to go toe-to-toe with the perennial champions, but instead remaining patient and carving out their own moments in due course.
It clearly worked in both of last term’s largely uneventful league encounters, where Arsenal picked up four points consisting of a 1-0 win at the Emirates before a 0-0 draw at the Etihad.
This tactical adjustment for the big occasion was further evidenced in Bergamo on Thursday when Arsenal were the second best team behind Atalanta yet maintained a clean sheet and held out for a point in a tricky opening UCL match.
Tip 2
As suggested, this is the unstoppable force meets the immovable object. With only a grand total of three goals across as many meetings in the 2023/24 season, this fixture is more akin to a chess match at times than it is a football game.
City boast a flawless start to their latest title defence, conceding just three times in their opening five matches, including clean sheets at Stamford Bridge and another in the season’s first European outing versus Internazionale.
Likewise, Arsenal have one of, if not the best, defence in the world right now. The Gunners have conceded only once in five games and look to have complimented an airtight defence with a fantastic figure between the sticks in David Raya.
