Match Preview
The top two from the last two seasons in the Premier League will collide in the English top-flight this weekend. It could be a pivotal fixture for Arsenal, as defeat could leave them sitting five points behind City at this early stage of the season. Meanwhile, the defending champions will be favored to pick up a fifth straight win to start the new campaign.
City boasts an excellent record against the Gunners after avoiding defeat in their last nine home matches. Over that sequence, the reigning champions have picked up seven wins. However, Arsenal picked up four points from their matches against City last term, which was more than they had picked up from the previous 15.

Defensively, Arsenal were sound in this fixture last term, keeping clean sheets in both matches against City. They also come into this round after two defensively strong performances after keeping clean sheets against Tottenham and Atalanta. But, City have scored against the Gunners in 16 of the last 18 meetings.
City could make history this weekend if they are able to claim victory. A success would see them become the first side in top-flight history to win each of their opening five league matches in five different seasons. Meanwhile, Arsenal are looking to reach 100 victories against City, having only achieved more league wins against Everton across all competitions.
Man City vs. Arsenal Picks
Arsenal have stuttered in the final third in their last three matches, meaning that Mikel Arteta will likely once again set up to take a point from the Etihad. However, we expect City to have the class to break down the Gunners in Manchester on Sunday.
