BBC pundit Chris Sutton is predicting a victory for Manchester City against Arsenal, despite their recent disappointing draw in the Champions League. Sutton expects a reaction from City, especially considering their strong offensive record and the fact that they have not failed to score in two consecutive games for almost two years. He believes City will be able to break down Arsenal’s defense and come out with a 2-1 win in what could be a tight match.
The match is expected to be a tough contest, with both teams having key players either injured or doubtful for the game. Kevin De Bruyne may not be fit to face Arsenal after sustaining a groin injury, while Savinho is also a doubt due to an injury during the previous game. Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb will be absent for City, while Arsenal will be without important players such as Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, and others. The absence of these players could have an impact on the match.
Despite the challenges posed by these injuries, Sutton believes that City has the firepower to overcome Arsenal and secure a crucial victory. He points to City’s strong offensive record and the fact that they have not failed to score in consecutive games in nearly two years as signs that they will be able to break down Arsenal’s defense. If City can find the back of the net twice, they may have enough to secure all three points in what is expected to be a closely contested match.
