Manchester City and Arsenal will face off in the Premier League matchday 3 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The kick-off is at 13:30 CEST.
Preview
Even though Man City kicked off their PL title defence with a 1-0 loss at Tottenham two weeks ago, Pep Guardiola's men returned to winning ways in an impressive fashion by beating newly-promoted Norwich City 5-0 thanks to strikes from Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, Aymeric Laporte and Tim Krul's own goal last Saturday.
Arsenal, in turn, suffered back-to-back 2-0 losses at the hands of Brentford and Chelsea in the opening two Premier League matchdays. Mikel Arteta's side, however, managed to bounce back from those defeats in a 6-0 thrashing of West Bromwich in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
Team news
Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne remain unavailable for the Cityzens through injury while Benjamin Mendy has been suspended by the club after being charged with rape and sexual assault. Thomas Partey, Gabriel Magalhaes and Eddie Nketiah, for their part, won't feature for the Gunners on Saturday as the trio remain on the sidelines. Ben White, meanwhile, is set to sit out his new club's trip to Manchester after contracting Covid-19 lately.
Prediction
Despite welcoming Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette back from coronavirus absence in mid-week, Arsenal are still way behind City in arguably every aspect so it seems likely that Arteta's crop will finish the opening month in the 2021/22 PL campaign with three losses in three matches. Moreover, Guardiola's side remain unbeaten against the North London club in 10 league games with nine wins and a single draw since the Catalan's appointment in the Etihad dugout in 2016. Hence, let's stick with City in this one as well.
Tip
Manchester City to win and total over 2.5 at 1.8 with 1XBET.
