It is always hard to maintain normal focus before an important match in Champions League. It is where all players want to win and lift the trophy so no matter what their coach says, players will be distracted a lot to Champions League than their domestic league, Premier League.

This season, Manchester City are defending their title in Champions League and their players only won one title last season so I believe their ambition to win it again, is still big. They know that they will make history as a second club can defend title in Champions League after Real Madrid. It's nothing better than moving nearer to the final match, by beating Real Madrid, the only champion so far successfully defend their trophy.

In general, yes, they are all pros (and I’m not just talking about City players) and essentially for them the whole season is an endless series of games and they are all important and in the end everything merges into one endless match. Therefore, in virtually every game everyone shows their average level. But the game with Real Madrid, especially in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, is very different from all other games, so I think that no matter how hard Guardiola tries, the players will think about this game not only when necessary (immediately before the game) but also long before it.

Shifting positions between these 3 teams every week is inevitable and as time goes by, all of them will outperform each other. To be honest, I prefer competition like this because it makes the league more exciting and the audience who watch it will have a strong appetite. Maybe Arsenal often lose their brilliant performance, but I think that's normal because all teams experience pressure in this phase.

I think Liverpool and Manchester City will also experience the same thing and it cannot be avoided if they experience one failure in the match. It is impossible to avoid everything, especially if a player is injured, it will certainly slightly reduce his chances of being able to maintain his top position. Apart from that, other teams who may not initially be as threatening as Aston Villa or Spurs will also take advantage of this opportunity to get closer. So I think vigilance is important and don't quickly feel satisfied just because you have the upper hand.

Most times we do use that at most when we want to place bets of tough games like this, you make good use of head to head to determine the outcome of the next game but in this game, Manchester City are now favorites according to the bookies but they Arsenal would have to say no, we've got this and we want to maintain our position at the top by winning this game.

Take for example the game between Manchester United and Liverpool, who was favorites? Liverpool, Yes? But what happened at the ending of the game? It's football, those players have to go ahead and say " Fuck the bookies" we're winning this game. Mikel Arteta and his lads doing a great job in between.
Both sides indeed have got hard fixtures ahead but Arsenal remains favorite, if they can beat city during the first half of the season, then anything is possible.

It is still quite difficult to predict who will emerge as champion this season because Man City, Liverpool, and Arsenal seem to have quite comparable performances at the moment. Even the match between Man City and Arsenal is quite difficult to predict. Even though Man City plays as host, that doesn't mean they will be the ones to win because I am sure that Arsenal will play with all their might.

From my own view, I think you're only predicting what you too don't know what is going to happen between these two teams, otherwise you would not suggest Arsenal will have a difficult match against Manchester City. Just because both teams are playing well does not guarantee you that you're aspecting a draw. Because even if we can look at their goals, I think Arsenal has goals more than Manchester City this season, and this has proved that Arsenal are capable of defeating Manchester City. However, with the Arsenal performance currently, I'm anticipating a good outcome from them against Manchester City.
Arsenal did exceptionally well this season, as everyone was astounded by how their effort resulted in a point. Nobody expected Arsenal to be the Tigers today while leading the league. Arsenal must continue hold their consistency and win this match because it is a significant opportunity for them and if they blow it, it will be difficult for them to bounce back.

Premier League said they didn't submit their audited Financial statements which led to the embargo? Is that their main issue against the EPL? This can be easily proven unless they are disorganized. Rules on submission are usually crystal clear so this matter could be resolved quickly.

Apart from Manchester City are playing home this winning will really mean a lot for both team, because who ever win will have chances of lifting the trophy, this time around Manchester City will like to pay Arsenal back with all what they have done twice this season, Liverpool will like the match to end in draw or preferably Arsenal should be defeated for them to gain ticket to the top after winning against Brighton, the only things that Liverpool are afraid of is Arsenal winning because Arsenal will still remain in that place due to the goals difference, Manchester city victory is not a problem to them at all.

I don't agree that Arsenal are in better shape than City or Liverpool, it looks like all three teams are in great shape at the moment. There are 10 rounds left until the end of the season, it will take several months, and I think a lot can change during this time. Guardiola always calculates his strength in such a way as to end the season at the peak of the team's condition, but Arteta had big problems with this at the end of last season.

This is surely going to be a battle and not just an ordinary game,and I think the two teams are coming out for the three points.City wants to win by all means to be infront,while Arsenal want to win to remain infront with the goals,and they see only City as the team that can prove a stumbling block.This is what they really want to battle with,and would be looking forward to win as they won at the Emirate stadium.It will really be devastating for Guardiola if Arteta wins him for the third time this season.
However,we still have more days to wait for this encounter to come.

Come on man, I'm not even hoping for a draw between City and Arsenal draw is a shitty result that must be avoided in order to make sure city can stick to the liverpool. In this game, a draw is literally the worst possible outcome when compared to losing considering liverpool is getting the gape even wider to the city and arsenal, it decreases city's chance in defending the trophy. We still have enough chances to surpass Liverpool, but the draw has obviously widened the gap even further and it's obviously unwanted result by whole of bettors. City was always so successful at home.

I was picking City to win this game, and it would be foolish of me to hope for a draw as the final outcome. I hope that your estimation is correct, given that the city has good home game statistics. The strategy used by those clubs affects their chances of winning the game.
I'm not even willing to see City and Arsenal play safely in their next game. Arsenal's defensive line appears to be weaker than the city's. So, a golden ticket will be owned by the city as long as it focuses its attack on the weak side. Walker is ready to destroy Martinelli.


 

Anything can happen. Last season, many people thought that the championship was firmly in Arsenal's hands, it would be difficult for any team to win it, but you already knew what happened. Therefore, I think this time Arsenal may have learned the lesson of last season, and be much more cautious in each of their matches. It will not be pleasant at all when this time they continue to lose the championship to Mancity, when they are in the top of the rankings. Arsenal's current form is somewhat better than Mancity and Liverpool. Their immediate challenge is the upcoming direct confrontation with Mancity. They need to focus on this decisive match before thinking about further things.

You're right about not allowing last season predict Manchester City vs. Arsenal, especially since Arsenal has dominated. I believe it's more than City playing at home. Though it helps, Arsenal has been a different beast this year. A fluke won't happen if City wins. Both teams are powerful, and Arsenal has shown they can win even in tough games. Who takes advantage of opportunities is more important than luck. Arsenal will have earned this by outplaying City. This is more exciting than a coin flip, man. Excited to see what happens. Arsenal have the ambition and talent to make this match famous

Erling Haaland and his friends will be ready to face Arteta's troops in the next match and of course as hosts, Manchester City certainly has the potential to play with enthusiasm and of course their first meeting in the EPL was when Arsenal was the host, Manchester City lost 1-0 and in This time, their last meeting is certain that Pep's troops will take revenge, of course they don't want to lose a second time.

Of course this match is not an easy match for Manchester City because against Arsenal it is certainly not an easy thing considering Arsenal's strength is currently in good form but it is possible that the match will end in victory for Manchester City because as the host they usually always play with enthusiasm. because you don't want to be embarrassed by the opposing team.

but I think Arsenal's match against Manchester City will be difficult to predict and also in the that match we won't know whether De Bruyne will appear in that match or not because of the injury he is suffering from, but yes, I hope that De Bruyne can appear in that match because I I think Manchester City really needs him, especially during an important match like the one in are facing now.

If De Bruyne doesn't appear in that match I predict a 1-1 draw

Leicester City appear to have filed a lawsuit with the EPL. They seem to disagree with the decision to violate profitability and sustainability (PSR) regulations during their last three years in the division. As interesting as it may seem, Leicester City also made the decision of this open-air conference to inform the general public. Unlike what the EPL body has done so far, which conducts closed hearings.

It's obvious that if you were missing one important factor that made bookies put city as favorable team to win the game against arsenal soon. A home game, and yeah city has very good record at home game this season.

This simple chart obviously answered your question regarding why bookies put city as favorite club in the upcoming game.



City never lost at home games and this is the main reason why city is being favored to get three points in the upcoming games against arsenal.

The reason why Arsenal is being Underrated is as a result of their past records like there are times when everyone will be confident that Arsenal will deliver in a match but at the end of the day they end up losing even to a lesser team just like they did in the match against Fulham and Westham because everyone just felt like Arsenal would win but they end up losing and those losses kept them in this tight corner now because had it been they won those matches, they would have been in a more confident situation now but that not withstanding, after those losses we all saw that there was a reform in the team as Trossard, Saka, Gabriel Jesus were very active within those periods that Arsenal was winning matches with huge goal differences.

The only problem Arsenal have is when it gets to critical stage like this instead of being very focused and achieve a greater result, they keep fans on suspense and doubtful of their ability to move further.

Bukayo Saka absence may not affect Arsenal much but we all know his impact when he was active in the pitch of play because Saka is literally a player that brings in his best in almost every of Arsenal game so it will be difficult to play without such an important player but however, with the kind of energy Arsenal have shown so far I wish them good luck in their game against Manchester city.

I really don't see why the bookies have decided to favour City in this game,but I see a 50-50 game,infact if we are to look at the favourite,we would say it's Arsenal because they've been able to win City twice this season, although I know this one is going to be very tough because City are at home,and would want to do everything possible to revenge what Arsenal did to them in the previous match, Meanwhile,Arsenal boys knows that if they are to have trophy at the end of the season,they must be able to beat City,and that would give them the motivation they would use in Winning other teams and be able to lift the trophy.

It doesn't mean if city uses haaland and de bruyne in that game and it will end arsenal. it's not like that. Can you remember what happend to the liverpool? Many clubs were also favoring it to win the game, but Liverpool was almost losing against Manchester City.
The same thing is gonna happen in the match of manchester city vs arsenal. Never try to underestimate your opponents, or you will be in a disaster. Arsenal may give City a surprise, and Pep must force his club to always play carefully against Arsenal.

Yes, that could happen, but we have to see first who the players will be playing in the match.
If Manchester City uses De Bruyne and Haaland, I am sure that Arsenal will not be able to do anything except try to defend, but to hold Arsenal to a draw, it looks like Arsenal will be very difficult because Manchester City will be superior and believe in competing at home.

Looking at the odds from my favorite platform, it currently provides very clear odds that Manchester City is given smaller odds than Arsenal and that means Arsenal only has a small chance of beating Manchester City unless Pep Guardiola deliberately does not field Haaland and de Bruyne onto the pitch to play against Arsenal but that will never be done by Pep Guardiola.
Betting on Manchester City winning the odds are quite big for me.
