Antecedents del Manchester City vs Arsenal
It is no secret to anyone that Manchester City starts as favorites in this match and not only for playing at home, but for having a very positive inertia.
It comes from eliminating Bayern Munich in the Champions League, as well to get the pass to the final of the FA Cup after dispatching Sheffield Unitedso, it comes at an unbeatable moment.
And if it was not enough, has Elring Haaland in the prime of his career. He is a couple of goals away from a Premier League record with Manchester City and he is at an absolutely monstrous level.
For their part, Arsenal are not doing as well as they would have expected, because in his last game he managed to draw the tie at home against the last place from the table.
Their last three games were draws and they have not won in the Premier League since April 1. So, Arsenal will have to be with the knife between their teeth to continue dreaming of lifting the Premier League trophy.
