Arsenal vs Man City: Prediction

Arsenal’s performance in the pre-season friendly looks better than Manchester City, thanks to their unbeaten run. Wenger and his charges have dominated Man City in domestic competitions in recent times.

Man City are yet to find their mojo under new boss Pep Guardiola. Arsene Wenger’s boys will be their one last test before the season kicks starts next Saturday. Judging by the recent form of both sides, it looks clear than Arsenal are favourites for this game.

But the Citizens have plenty of proven match winners at their disposal and therefore this will be an entertaining affair. We expect to see some end to end attacking football and we are likely to see goals at both end.
