Manchester City Looking for 5^th Straight win in the Prem

Manchester City is the only team in the 2024-25 English Premier League that’s got a 100% win record. Pep Guardiola’s men are 4-0-0 with a score differential of 11:3. However, excluding the game with Chelsea in the opening round, they haven’t played against an opponent expected to compete for a spot in Europe this season.

The game with Arsenal is going to be their toughest challenge so far this season. The good news for Man City is that the game is played on their turf. At Etihad Stadium, the Cityzens have all wins in their last Premier League six Premier League games. In fact, the last time they didn’t win at home in the Prem was in March when they drew 0:0 with Arsenal. Can they do better this time around?

Arsenal Missing a Couple of Key Men

Arsenal are 3-1-0 this season, with their only draw happing against Brighton at home. Since then, they played another EPL game, beating Tottenham 1:0 on the road. Now, they’re coming to Manchester to take on the reigning champs, which is a tough challenge on its own. It’s even tougher given that the Gunners will miss a couple of crucial players on Sunday.

Forward Bukayo Saka is out with an injury, and so are defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Further, Arsenal’s captain Martin Odegaard is reportedly struggling with an injury but is expected to play. All the other players are expected to be fit for Sunday’s game as well.

Manchester City vs. Arsenal Prediction

The last time they played in the EPL, the game finished with no goals. However, back at the time, Man City’s best striker Erling Haaland wasn’t in too great shape. Right now, he’s playing incredibly. The Norwegian beast has scored nine games in the Premier League already this season, which is three times as many as the second player on the list of top scorers.

Unfortunately for Arsenal, we don’t think his goal-scoring spree will end anytime soon. In fact, we predict he will get on target at least once on Sunday, helping his team get their fifth win in the 2024-25 EPL.
