This could be an interesting match as Arsenal have their presumed home advantage while Manchester City are ahead 10 points in the Premier League table.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Arsenal form and stats
3 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Arsenal have to build on here at Emirates Stadium in the Premier League.
Arsenal drew their last game, 2-2 away at Standard Liège. Before that match, a Premier League win away at West Ham United.
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Standard Liège last time out, but a goal from B. Saka completed a comeback to a draw result for Arsenal.
The Arsenal fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 14 goals in 8 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
Manchester City form and stats
Manchester City, who have the most scored goals (44) in Premier League, have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 5-1-2 from 8 games.
Two travels in a row for Manchester City, whose manager Guardiola could celebrate last time after the Champions League win against Dinamo Zagreb. A loss against Manchester United was the result prior to that, in a Premier League home game.
It's hard not to mention Gabriel Jesus's lethal finishing against Dinamo Zagreb. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Manchester City manager Guardiola as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Oxford United.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 22 goals in 8 league games away this season. 11 goals have been conceded by Manchester City in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 2 - 2 - 6 (Arsenal wins - draws - Manchester City wins). As for goals, 9 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 1 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
