This is the best performance of Arsenal this season, maintaining a lead with one man down against Manchester City for a whole 47 minutes. This would have been Arsenal first victory at Etihad since 2015. They would have also broken the record of winning the first 5 games of the season for consecutive 5 seasons. John Stones rose up to the occasion to give City a point at home against Arsenal. Kudos to Arsenal, they really tried their best in the game. They can walk away a happy team.
David Raya deserves to be the Man of the match in my opinion.

Arsenal were under pressure throughout the second half. There were not many chances for them to escape from Man City's pressure. David Raya was very good, 33 shots by Man City players certainly made him work hard today.
Arteta's strategy in the second half almost succeeded in maintaining the lead. All the players played a strong defense and Haaland didn't have many chances in a game like that. A great game, a tiring game for both teams. A deserved draw for both teams, and I think all the fans enjoyed the game. Full of tension.

This result extends Man City unbeaten record, a very entertaining and tense match. In the second half, Arsenal really defended because they lost 1 player. Continuously pressed, the result clearly made Arsenal unable to get out freely. David Raya played amazingly in this match, some brilliant saves he made deserve appreciation. Arsenal could not do much other than gather in the penalty box to guard the goal. Man City did not give up and continued to fight by all means, I think the score still belongs to Arsenal but in the 97th minute Stones got the rebound and was able to break into David Raya's goal whose position was no longer able to move.

I didn’t expect Arsenal to be this fierce. My prediction of 2-0 victory for Manchester City is already in shit as Arsenal are leading the game two goals to one. Interestingly the two goals for Arsenal were scored by their defenders, Calafiori; and Gabriel.

Edit: Trossard just picked up a second yellow and he’s been sent out. Arsenal will play the second half with 10 men.

This game is going in a surprising way, Arsenal likely going to defeat Manchester City at their home soil, not only that ,but this victory will be a significant one, which will put Arsenal football club on top of the premier league table this very week. This season so far is becoming another super interesting just as what started happening towards the end of last season league, which saw the big teams switch their position in the league table almost each week. Arteta and his men has done incredibly well in this match, which the team is becoming more formidable as the season progresses.

Yes, the game turned out in such a surprising way that firstly Arsenal couldn't hold on to the lead, but on the other hand they couldn't for a number of reasons. It was the last minutes of the match, and the level of possession, which they had at an extremely low level. I have the feeling that arsenal didn't even touch the ball at all in the second half.....

Arsenal again shown their strength from corner kicks and Gabriel scored another goal for them. I really believed that Arsenal will win this match because Manchester City lacked of idea for attacks in the second half.

But surprise came at very last seconds, from a corner kick, they equalized the match but it's a super intelligent corner kick then a key pass from Jack Grealish. Arsenal has reasons to feel disappointed after nearly successfully to defeat Manchester City in this direct match. It is an exciting match till the very last minutes but I would feel happy if Arsenal win this one. It's better for Arsenal and for Premier League in general too.

What a perfect time for Calafiori to score his debut goal. And Gabriel never cease to amaze me. Let's just enjoy the second half and see how things unfolds at the final whistle.

The goals scored by those two players were great goal and I really enjoyed how they took the lead after Haaland’s first goal. The goal by Gabriel can be attributed to defense error but since it’s a corner kick, and the defender marking at the time was not that tall as Gabriel, it was easy for him to score the header. Califiori did well to score such a nice goal for Arsenal for his debut goal.

I thought Manchester City would win the Match because their pressure at the first half was much but I also know that Arsenal would not allow Man City to win them. And now Arsenal is leading the game and I strongly believe that they will defend this goal till the end of the match. And that how a reputable team supposed play. And not open the defence area for the opponent to penetrate and scored goals. Man would have protected the goal but couldn't. And right now Arsenal all the way.

Manchester City have equalised in the final minutes and that was a painful equalizer for all Arsenal fans. Football is really crazy. I commend Arsenal to hold on to the pressure of the game for a whole 45 minutes of the second half, they deserved to be applaud for that. Arsenal defenders especially their goalkeeper did a very great job to keep them ahead till the extra time of the game. Arsenal should have gone top of the table if they’d won today but the draw made Manchester City to be at the top the end of the match.

There was no winner in the most important match of the week. I can say that the match was exciting. Haaland scored the first goal for City, but Arsenal closed the first half 2-1 up with a goal in the dying minutes. After Trossard was sent off late in the first half, Manchester City were in complete control of the game. Despite pushing so hard, Manchester City managed to get a draw, albeit a difficult one, with a goal in the dying minutes.

We all know Macshter United's coach, Ten Hag. Ten Hag made many mistakes in this team, and he caused them to lose many games during the last games. But he was not guilty of everything that happened to them because sometimes Manchester United's players had bad performances, and sometimes they just had injured players.
Now the good news for Manchester United is about their player, Mason Mount. He just played in 8 games in the last season but got injured for a long time. They didn't say when Mason Mount is going to be back in the good form but now it seems he is going to be ready until the end of September.

We cannot always completely blame Erik ten Hag even though he is responsible for everything. Because the problem of player injuries and several blunders that are often made by the players in this squad must also be a concern. But as a coach, Erik ten Hag must also be able to encourage his players to develop for the better. but at Man United we see that the players don't seem to have improved at all. And sometimes what happens is the opposite, namely that they experience a decline in performance.

But there is good news now ahead of the match against Crystal Palace. namely because the two players who were absent due to injury seem to have now recovered and can strengthen the team again in the match against Crystal Palace. And yes, they are Mason Mount and another one is Rasmus Hojlund who has been absent since pre-season. With the additional strength that the Man United squad currently has, it is hoped that Man United will get better results this season. Moreover, Man United also has a quite busy schedule going forward.

_{Reference:

You are right and we cannot blame Ten Hag for everything that happened in Macnshter United. He is definitely trying to do his best for the team to get better results and improve the team but was not successful so far. However we cannot forget the time before they hired Ten Hag for Manchester United, they had harder days and they had worse performances with any coach they had while Ten Hag helped them to stay in the top side of the Premier League however he spent too much money in Manchester United but he was not lucky because they player he bought were not in the good form and as you already sad Hojlund is another example of these players.

This absolutely brilliant performance from the Gunners at Etihad stadium in the north London derby. It's been a really amazing day for Gunners, watching two defenders recording a goal on the scoresheet is definitely an winning ticket for the away team. Mikel Arteta have built the confidence of the team and we know the exceptional odds for Arsenal particularly against Manchester City. The referee, Michael Oliver have just issued out a second yellow card to Leandro Trossard. This ruined everything for Arsenal, everyone complained and shown frown faces, watched Mikel Arteta closely, he's not happy with the new development, he will put in more defensive tactics in the second half.

Our performance was just amazing just during the first half and I almost lost faith in Arsenal because I was not comfortable with the performance they are playing their pattern the second half just changed my mood Because of the red card and now Manchester City is going to looking for chances to equalize the second I just hope we can manage the game till it ends because we can not afford to lose this game when we have come to this far to be losing now but my heart is more confident that we are going to be winning this game for sure and my belief in Arsenal have been reassuring. The red card issued is not a serious offense they are just looking for ways to destabilize our game. And the way we are keeping up with this game is what is given me joy.

Manchester City thought they could trash us and take advantage of the red card but it is now a different situation. And even with the seven minutes extra time given we have already won this game for sure I so much happy thank to the goal scored by magalhaes it would have still be 1:1 am loving how things are turning out to look like in the Premier League.

The pressure is still too much on Arsenal and I am beginning to doubt if they can hold this for another 15 minutes. They are almost playing a 6-3-0 strategy, and David Raya is almost on duty every minute. But Mikel Arteta knows the game well and always puts forward his players anytime they have chances, like free or corner kicks. Pep Guardiola is also a master of this game and will keep pushing up until they get a goal. He has sent in John Stones and Jack Grealish to replace Kyle Walker and Savinho to keep forcing the attack. Arsenal players deserve to be celebrated if they can hold this lead till full-time. Almost everybody around me doesn't want Manchester City to win this match because they need a new champion in the EPL.

Trossard picking a red card has shifted the dynamics of the game to Manchester City favor. Arsenal that I know do not know how to play with a one man down. Against Brighton, they had the game under control until Declan Rice picked a second yellow card. I think Arteta is going to play defensively and try to counter.

Going defensive is what any right coach will do at this time since they are now play with a one man short in the game, it really calls for a reshuffling so now in the second half Saka and Calafiori has been substituted to bring in Ben White and Kiwior.

Arsenal has really been unlucky this season with the red cards which for that Brighton game denied them a three point they were already in sitting on with a 1 goal nil lead before Declan Rice was sent off, and today against Manchester City same fate is almost befallen them when they're are already leading with 2:1 score. Now Manchester City is taking the game to Arsenal's own halve dominating the midfield as arsenal struggle to maintain a strong defense while Manchester City keeps on pressing...

A very exciting match between Manchester City and Arsenal and the final score of the first half was Arsenal leading 1-2 over the home team Manchester City. But unfortunately in the final minutes of the first half Trossard committed a foul on Bernardo Silva and this was a big loss for Arsenal in the second half, and I am sure Manchester City's defeat in the first half will be used with 10 Arsenal players to turn things around or continue to attack in order to score goals and win the match.

By the way, R. Calafiori's long-range shot from Arsenal was very cool.

Well here's another surprise in the Premier League this week, when almost everyone predicted Manchester City would win but in fact not, they had to fight in the second half. If we check the match statistics home teams are clearly dominating and as you said they should take their chances against 10 players, so far Manchester City has fired 18 shots but all can be overcome by Arsenal. This is enough to prove that Arsenal really has a strong and solid defense even a team like Manchester City needs more effort to score.

If there are no goals until the last minute then the competition in the Premier League will be even fiercer at least these 3 teams Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City are chasing each other. By the way in the second half the bookies favor Manchester City with a handicap of -0.75 meaning they predict the match will end in a draw because Arsenal will play with 10 players, so will the gambler get pranked a second time? let's wait for the next 10+ minutes, surprises can come at any time even at the last second.

-snip-

The second half will be a bit different, one man down for Arsenal, can they really be able to keep up with the remaining men left in the field? Manchester City will definitely take advantage of this, I hope Arsenal are able to protect their lead and win in this game despite playing one man down.

Can't guarantee whether Arsenal can maintain the current score advantage because Manchester City's dominance is already above 85% or almost reaching 90% ball possession in the second half which has entered the 80th minute.
Other statistics such as the number of shots in the second half belonging to Manchester City with a total of 20 shots while Arsenal did not do it at all.
From the 2nd statistic, Arsenal's efforts to protect or maintain the lead are very difficult because Foden has also been brought in by Pep. Doku is good, but Foden is deadly when he attacks.

Manchester United's performance this season has been very erratic. So betting on each of their matches is risky. Out of 4 matches, Manchester United's performance is not good in a single match. However, out of 4 matches they have won 2 and lost 2. But I don't like the overall gameplay of this team. There are still many weaknesses within the squad.

Manchester United won the last EFL Cup match against Barnsley by a huge margin of 7-0. But since the performance of this team is very erratic. I think many gamblers are betting on Manchester United to win today as this team won 7-0 in the last match. However, United's performance against Crystal Palace in today's match is poor as usual. Neither team could score a single goal in the first half. Crystal Palace are keen to draw the match. So we don't see much effort from Crystal Palace players to score goals. On the other hand, Manchester United's players made several attacks, but could not score a single goal.

Manchester United will not improve this season, their performance is annoying in every game, I don't think any position is great in Manchester United since their results this season are not good for a big team like United. Of course, after Manchester United defeated Barnsley in the EFL Cup, some gamblers will feel that they have returned to winning ways. Manchester United have not improved in the last two seasons, and I don't believe they will get better this season either. On the other hand, they missed several opportunities against Palace, having 15 shots but unable to score a goal.

However, if Manchester United is not playing against a weak team that was promoted to the league this season, I would advise any gambler to avoid the game because Ten Hag performance will only improve in other competitions, such as the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, not the Premier League.

The goal scored by Calafiori for me was a beautiful goal that raised Arsenal's hopes again after Haaland scored in the 9th minute. Calafiori's goal came after Manchester City's equalizer had to be replaced by Kovacic. Rodri, who I mean, was central to Manchester City's equalizer.
Trossard's red card will change the match after half time. Arsenal's position which is now 1-2 ahead of Manchester City will be overwhelmed and a new strategy will be thought of by Arteta.

Of course, it was a beautiful goal from Riccardo Calafiori. This goal made Arsenal play better and it was proven that they could score a second goal at the end of the second half which made Arsenal take the lead. The second yellow card for Leandro Trossard certainly changed Arteta's game plan for Arsenal in the second half, we can see Arsenal were more focused on defending with 10 players and they were trying to maintain their lead.

It was not easy for Manchester City to beat Arsenal, even if Manchester City completely controlled the second half of the match. Arsenal defended well and they really closed the defensive area tightly, of course this made it difficult for Manchester City to score goals. But I think Manchester City will find the goals and avoid home defeat in this match, but they will really have to fight to overcome Arsenal's super strong defence.

West Ham United possessed ball more today but Chelsea defence was good today and Nicolas Jackson displayed his real talent today. Normally Nicolas Jackson is a good player but the finishing part was the issue he was having and as you said, he has been working on that weak part of him and he is overcoming it gradually. And as it was said by some commenters before, in this season Chelsea is trying more that the previous seasons. And it is recommendable.
We pray that they should continue like this. West Ham United is a strong team and we can see it from the match today.

Westham are to blame for their loss, they didn’t play like they wanted even a point from the game allowing Chelsea to dominate them in both halves. I was surprised to see how Nicolas Jackson was making those runs and cutting through Westham’s defense and creating chances. Chelsea have been playing well this season, the problem they had was their finishing which is Jackson’s area. Now that Jackson is scoring goals, Chelsea are going to finish in a good position this season.

Westham should be blamed for the way their players played against Chelsea. Their press and man marking looked very incoherent in that game. Their backline was very open, and they had zero protection from their midfield. Their high line defense gave them more of a disadvantage.

Although they looked decent in possession. They had some moments that could be converted into goals, but they missed it all. They looked outclassed and played without a clue the whole game against Chelsea.

In the end, they looked dreadful in this game. It may take a whole season to recover their performance.

Trossard red card might affect Arsenal's performance in the second half because City attack will mount pressure Arsenal defense and that will definitely make City score more goals.

Arsenal have been too rough in this match which led to Rodri been macked out of the game. I will say that the referee has being lenient in this match so giving the red card is a good thing.

However, before the red card Arsenal was able to come from one goal down to take the lead which I never expected. I don't think there's hope for Arsenal to draw this match because City has a good advantage over them.

A very tight match and full of ambition for each other, Man City attacked relentlessly to catch up. Trossard red card was a big loss for Arsenal, even though they took the lead for a while it would still be quite a hassle to play with 10 players. A lot of drama was quite hot on the pitch, Man City locked up the Arsenal defence and still couldn't equalise. Haaland did not move much because he was tightly guarded and could not score again. Arsenal defence is really solid and only relies on counterattacks. Now Arteta must think about rotating the vacant positions.

The second half will be even more interesting if Man City manage to equalise or vice versa if Arsenal are able to survive with a superior score then Arteta is considered to have successfully thwarted Man City.

I thought Manchester City would win the Match because their pressure at the first half was much but I also know that Arsenal would not allow Man City to win them. And now Arsenal is leading the game and I strongly believe that they will defend this goal till the end of the match. And that how a reputable team supposed play. And not open the defence area for the opponent to penetrate and scored goals. Man would have protected the goal but couldn't. And right now Arsenal all the way.

Shit. Although Arsenal have the goal advantage, the hosts have the man advantage and if there's anything the Gunners need now is to retain their confidence, continue to press and also defend because right now City are furious that the game is not going in their favor and if they don't control their tempers, they can make lots of mistakes. I'm so curious to see how the second half and for the first time, I'm rooting for the Gunners to win at the Etihad and shock Guardiola.

This game has been full of twists and turns. Arsenal are living up to expectations. I thought the players would be fatigued from playing in the champions league on Thursday. Manchester City didn’t look too pleased with the equalizer, the players raced to the ref to complain about the quick free kick. But there was no case in the referee’s opinion. This game was going so well for Arsenal until the last minute of the first half.

Trossard picking a red card has shifted the dynamics of the game to Manchester City favor. Arsenal that I know do not know how to play with a one man down. Against Brighton, they had the game under control until Declan Rice picked a second yellow card. I think Arteta is going to play defensively and try to counter.

I was expecting action like this from this game as Haaland give lead to his team, but we have impressive response from the Arsenal as their two defenders give good advantage to their team and at the end of the first half we have 1–2 for the Arsenal but near the end of first half we have huge setback for the Arsenal as their striker Trossard had red card, and now they have to play second half with 10 men which is going to be huge advantage for Manchester City.

Most chances we will have more action and more goals in second half with my prediction for this match was it's going to end 2–2 is also going to be wrong because now I am expecting 2 or 3 goals from the Manchester City with this advantage but how Arsenal will give response it's also important.

Impressive first half I must say.i wasn't even expecting more than 2 goals in the game, but i was wrong. City dominating arsenal as usual, but arsenal seems to be defensively composed, and choose to take the view chances they had. I think arsenal are not at the etihad stadium to play a fair game. All that matters for them is all 3 points. But now that trosaard has received a red card, I think the momentum or vibe of the game has been killed. Arsenal might want to defend their win for the entire 45mins, but that will be a risk knowing the kind of opponent they are against.

What a perfect time for Calafiori to score his debut goal. And Gabriel never cease to amaze me. Let's just enjoy the second half and see how things unfolds at the final whistle.
