Previewing Arsenal vs. Manchester City | ESPN FC

Arsenal should go on the defensive and counter. They should go for a back 5 with a 5-3-2 formation if they don’t want to get smashed by City.

Arsenal has to take the game to man city too much respect for city will only get us beaten so badly and we need to fight harder than man city and we have to want it more

Midfield quality is the biggest difference between these two.

Arsenal have played very well they only lost games to 3 off the big 6 and that was a few weeks ago I think they will go out n fight for the win

Nah this is at least 4 or 5-0

cmon man city, i need prime aftv back please

Everyone apart from City and Spurs want an Arsenal win. Let’s hope City goes down to keep the title race a bit alive

Everyone thought leno holding bellerin mari is still in our back 5 five.. We are completely different team atm.. The only thing Arsenal will lost if Xhaka got red card.. Arsenal 2 city 1.

The very definition of a FREE Hit for Arsenal. They have already massively improved and given their fans something to smile about

3-2

If City wins vs Arsenal and Liverpool doesn’t get a good result with Chelsea on Sunday the Tournament is practically over. City champions.

Arteta understand Pep deeply!

Well City is the clear favorite, but Arsenal are not to be discounted. I’d guess City 3-1 Arsenal but it could go the other way — not likely but it is possible. As a Spurs fan I have to root for City, but the Gunners will not be an easy 3 points…

I m a city fan….but I really feel city will lose this time…they will make stupid mistakes in the middle pitch, pass sloppy, get caught and pay the price…

3-0 Arsenal

That’s what you guys were saying about liverpool beating Leicester, this is premier league

I’m expecting a frustrating New Year’s Day for Pep. VAR players a massive part.

3-0 gunners

COME ON ARSENAL 🔴🔴🔴🔴

If he’s not on the sideline they will play BETTER!!!!!!!!!! Trust me they’ll do good without him, he has coached them so hard to the the point of OVERCOACHING. So they’ll be aiight

City are just too goood. If Arsenal want anything out of this game they have got to start on the front foot and press city high, force mistakes and take their midfield ball carriers out of the game. That means they have absolutely got to stop De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Gundogan, and Foden because those 4 imo are the deadliest on the ball. Lacazette has to put in a shift and act as that Midfield disrupter breaking up play, disrupting City’s rhythym and holding up the ball and feeding forwards looking to run in behind the defence and Xhaka has to take up an advanced role because he will thrive on the counter with his passing range. They have to try to steal two or three goals in the first half and with Saka and Martinelli on the flanks they have more than enough ability to create those chances but they must be clinical. Then in the second half park the bus soak in the pressure and hit on the break. I’m keeping my fingers crossed but if I’m being realistic it looks like a 3-0 thumping at home.

Martinelli is lit right now,that’s all I gotta say

Go Arsenal punch them in the face!!

Arsenal 2 city 1 remember this post

Arsenal gonna win this match

Arsenal might win today. They are playing better attacking football.

Man City always best arsenal in coming years

Did he say Stamford Bridge? 🙄

Arsenal will beat city

Can Jules be any more biased 😂? He’s letting the fact that his wife works for Arsenal affect his analysis. His takeaway is that Arsenal would have taken away something from this game if Arteta were there? Was Arteta not there against Liverpool when Arsenal got smacked 4-0?

City will win, 2-0

MCity 3 gunner 2

Mancity will thrash arsenal

Glad to see you got rid of Stevie and Shaka. Those two has some serious Arsenal issue’s

Pep is a trickster when it comes to arsenal. He complements them first then traps and then attacks like a pack of wolves

Common knowledge every football fans knows:
– Man U is a joke
– Liverpool is better than Chelsea
– Arsenal can’t beat Man City
🏄

2-1 City

Another 5-0 for City 😂😂
Easy win, easy points for the champion 🏄

I am feeling a horrible lost for Arsenal. Man City are going to destroy them at least 4-0

Won’t get a better chance to win now Arteta is out

A draw is great. 2-1 loss would be fine. Just don’t want a battering

Arsenal 3 – City 1

Never compare a student to its teacher 💯🤷‍♂️

It would seem the stars align for City again. Thoroughly deserved though, in football you make your own luck.

Arteta was a pupil of Guardiola, he likes to play the same way with trying to maintain possession of the ball, if they choose to play like that Man City will destroy them.
As much as I hate Mourinho with his anti-football tactics I have to admit he was the closest coach to be able to neutralize Guardiola’s tactic, Klopp was good as well. You need to defend and play counterattack and you need to make the best from corner kicks or free kicks that are close to the goalie and if Man City comes forward and your team is not where they are supposed to be then someone has to do a tactical fault even if it cost a yellow card.

Without Tomi I see the score being close to 3-1 to man city

This people have bad luck, They’ve all predicted City to win, The opposite is about to happen,
Expect a shocker.

Arsenal team will win it at home ground.

1-8
