"That is, of course, if City show the kind of form they displayed in their emphatic defeat of Manchester United last week, rather than replicating the poor displays they turned in against Tottenham and Brighton in August. City followed up their derby-day triumph by overcoming Napoli 2-0 in their Champions League opener, with Erling Haaland scoring his 50th goal in the competition before a superb solo effort from Jeremy Doku made the points safe."
"Arsenal defeated Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday to kick-start their Champions League campaign, making it four wins from five this season. The Gunners have not shipped a single goal across those four victories, three of which have come in the Premier League. Only Liverpool have managed to breach Arsenal's defence this season, in the one game Mikel Arteta's team have lost. So, it really could be a case of an immovable object meeting an unstoppable force when Manchester City visit Emirates Stadium on Sunday."
Arsenal have won four of five matches this season and have kept clean sheets in each of those four victories, three in the Premier League. Only Liverpool have breached Arsenal's defence in their sole loss. Manchester City have shown mixed form, producing an emphatic win over Manchester United and a 2-0 Champions League victory over Napoli, featuring Erling Haaland's 50th European goal and a Jeremy Doku solo effort. City have struggled historically at the Emirates, losing their last two league visits, while Arsenal have improved recent results against City. Opta gives Arsenal a narrow pre-match win probability advantage.
