Manchester City Determined to Stay Undefeated at Home
November 12, 2022, is the day when Manchester City lost at home the last time. Since then, the Cityzens are undefeated at Etihad, winning most of their home games. In the 2023-24 Premier League, they are 10-4-0 on home turf.
They’re in great form when it comes to games at Etihad, winning nine of the last 10 home games in all competitions. In their most recent home game, Pep Guardiola’s men defeated Newcastle 2-0 in the FA Cup.
When it comes to their duels with Arsenal, they won each of their last eight duels played in Manchester. Last season, they beat the Gunners 4-1 at Etihad.
All this explains why Man City is expected to win on the last day of March. However, there are a couple of things going against them ahead of the Man City vs. Arsenal game. For instance, they’re expected to miss three crucial players, namely, goalkeeper Ederson, wing-back Kyle Walker, and midfield general Kevin De Bruyne.
Arsenal Wants to Keep Its Good Form Going
Arsenal is 20-4-4 in the Premier League, with nine wins straight in this competition. The last time they lost in the Prem was against Nottingham Forest on the road, which was kind of a glitch. The evidence is that in the next EPL game, they beat mighty Liverpool 3-1 at home.
Since then, they also demolished West Ham 6-0, Burnley 5-0, and Sheffield United 6-0. In their most recent EPL game, they beat Brentfo0rd 2-1.
Earlier this week, they played with FC Porto in the Champions League. After winning 1-0 in the regulation, the game had to go to extra time and penalties as they were equal on aggregate. After 120+ minutes of play, the Gunners won the penalty shootout, with all four of their players scoring.
Manchester City vs. Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal’s been in great shape, but when it comes to player quality, Manchester City has the edge. Plus, the Man City vs. Arsenal EPL game is played at Etihad, which has been the Cityzens’ fortress over the last couple of years.
