Arsenal vs Manchester City – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Arsenal face Manchester City in a huge Premier League showdown at the Emirates today.

Last season’s top two go head-to-head in North London, with neither side where they want to be in the table. Arsenal secured their place in the Champions League’s Round of 16 – avoiding a play-off tie – after a 2-1 win at Girona in midweek.

It followed a battling performance to win 1-0 at Wolves in the Premier League last weekend, despite Myles Lewis-Skelly’s controversial red card.

The Gunners face an examination of their title credentials this afternoon, against the Premier League champions. Despite a tough season, Manchester City remain a real test. The Citizens beat Chelsea last weekend and secured Champions League progress to the play-off round on Wednesday night.

However, Arsenal can take encouragement from their impressive record against the Premier League’s top teams. It has been 648 days since Arsenal last lost to ‘Big Six’ opposition in the Premier League.
