Important top match for Arsenal in the clash against Manchester City. Prediction, 02.02.2025

Will ManCity give the Gunners another leg up in the championship battle?

Published on 29.01.2025 22:02.

In the last two years, it was always Arsenal or Manchester City when it came to the Premier League championship. This season, City have said goodbye to the championship battle relatively early on. The Sky Blues' lead is probably too big to close and the goal must be a top four finish. But now the visitors also have the chance to put a severe damper on Arsenal. The Gunners are still Liverpool's closest rivals. However, the gap is already quite large, which is why they cannot afford another defeat and a home win against Manchester City is almost a must. Both teams are therefore in a precarious position.

Arsenal must win to keep title chances alive

Arsenal FC are once again in the role of the chasing pack, but this season they are not chasing Manchester City but Liverpool FC. The gap after 23 match days is already 6 points and Liverpool still have a game in hand. The Gunners must therefore not allow themselves a defeat under any circumstances. Aparticularly as the lead over City is only 6 points. However, Arsenal are in good form and have not lost any of their last 13 games in the Premier League. After Liverpool, this is currently the longest streak in the league. However, with 8 draws already, they keep dropping points. Including 2 of the last 4 games. Both against Brighton and Aston Villa they did not manage more than a draw. The Gunners are still looking for replacements for the long-term injured Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka. The goal tally in recent weeks has not been outstanding and only 6 goals have been scored in the last 4 games.

Arsenal is a real home power

The Gunners are the only team in the Premier League still unbeaten at home. After 11 games, they are in 2nd place in the home table with a record of 7 wins and 4 draws. They are also very stable defensively and have only conceded 9 goals in 11 games. The offense also scores 2.00 goals per game. However, their last home game ended in a 2:2 draw against Aston Villa. Before that, they won 2 in a row against Tottenham and Ipswich Town. They have also failed to score in 4 of their last 6 home games.

Manchester City has rediscovered its form

The Citizens have gone through a phase in the fall that has not been seen in recent years. After more than 10 games without a win in a row, they even slipped out of the top 4 in the table. Coach Pep Guardiola has managed to turn things around, however, and City have won four of their last five Premier League games. They are now back in an extremely tight position in the table, but could immediately slip back down to seventh place if they lose. A win in the clash against Arsenal could also see them close the gap on the Gunners and take them out of the championship race. The visitors are almost back to their old self, especially in attack. They have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 5 games and have scored 9 goals in the last two games alone. They celebrated a 0:6 victory at Ipswich Town and won 3:1 in the top match against Chelsea. With 47 goals, they are suddenly the 2nd best attacking team in the league again.

City must still tremble in the Champions League

While they are slowly getting back on track in the Premier League, they are in danger of failing in the group stage of the Champions League. After a defeat against Paris St. Germain on the final matchday, they slipped to 25th place and out of the play-off places. A win against Brugge on the final matchday is now essential to reach the play-offs. However, they have not won their last four games and have only picked up a single point. In these last 4 games, they also conceded 13 goals!

Manchester City

System: 4-3-3.
