Manchester City’s Triumph into The Final Third
Manchester City and Erling Haaland have been the best team in the world for the past two months and are capitalizing on every opportunity given to them.
The Blues are going to be able to host this match in their own stadium, which will be finally bumping after years of rivals talking trash regarding their attendance.
City are a team that is formidable, and they don’t go into any game without preparation and mentality.
Pep Guardiola has done a great job of preparing this team this season, and he finally looks to regain the lead of the PL with this game.
City are winning each and every match with a vengeance, and nothing to spare.
Their star men in Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland have become so acquainted with one another, and there is nothing to say that this game will be different.
City should control most of the possession, and there will be minimal opportunities for Arsenal to have shots at goal.
What makes this game so tricky on City’s behalf, is the counter-attacking chances.
Just one or two counters can put them in a really bad spot, and we will see how they react in accordance.
Arsenal Slippage coming at the Wrong Time
The Gunners are making waves, but they are crashing down at the wrong time. After three straight Premier League draws, the Arsenal morale is looking to be more and more down.
Mikel Arteta’s men desperately need to find their mojo back, and it only seems to be coming at the latest of time.
Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard are trying to will this team to the finish line, but defensive lapses and midfield disaster classes have been a common theme in the past month.
After losing out to Sporting FC in the Europa League quarterfinals, the Gunners have nothing to play for but the league.
A Champions League spot is already in their grasp but winning here at the Etihad would do so much more.
Look for the Red and White to put their pedal to the metal, putting and leaving everything they physically have on that pitch this Wednesday.
