Personally I think Manchester City squad is stronger than Arsenal. Also comparing the squad shows that Manchester City have more stars and experienced players in their squad than Arsenal. However, due to errors in a few matches, Manchester City have dropped points and are now second in the table. But with Haaland, Arsenal's attack is very strong. And so City looks like my favorite against Arsenal. However, I doubt whether these two teams will take the FA Cup match seriously.
Man City is only 5 points behind Arsenal and many admit that Man City has a superior team compared to the Arsenal team. in fact I think Arsenal are just lucky to be able to steal points from Man City and be ranked first in the English league.
and in my opinion it won't last long Man city will reclaim the first place in the standings, because Man City has excellent players who are ready to break through to their opponent's goal and regain the points left behind. and I think Haaland is ready to go and take that point.
In football, there is no luck without hard work. Arsenal have become the scourge of a very tough team this season, even though most of the players are young talents. at least, the Gunners' young squad has shown their abilities under Arteta's tutelage. they have teamwork, chemistry, mentally tested, strong bonding and most importantly team spirit. that is why, Arsenal have been able to consistently top the Premier League standings so far.
I admit, City is one level above the Gunners. but, that does not mean City will smoothly shift the ranking occupied by Arsenal at this time. because, Arsenal still have one game to widen the difference in points with City. if Arsenal are able to overthrow Everton, then City are eight points behind.
by the way, if Liverpool, Manchester United can topple City. what about Arsenal, now we will find out soon because these two teams will meet today in the title FA CUP match.
