Both teams collected good Champions League wins in midweek and will be aware that a defeat will be a setback in their attempts to lift the title at the end of the season.

Arsenal claimed a 2-0 away win at Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday, while City beat Napoli by the same score at the Etihad on Thursday evening.

Prediction

These two teams have finished inside the top three in the Premier League for the last three seasons, with no more than five points between them.

They still remain evenly matched and there’s not much to separate them going into Sunday’s latest showdown, with Arsenal three points ahead of their rivals.

At this early stage of the season, neither manager will want to lose any more ground on defending champions Liverpool.

Both teams have made several changes to their squads in the summer transfer window and have also been impacted by injury problems in the early weeks.

Arsenal have conceded just one goal in their opening four league games, that goal being Dominic Szoboszlai’s late free-kick at Anfield.

The Gunners defensive strength will be tested by the top-flight’s leading scorer, Erling Haaland, who has found the net five times in four games.

It’s also worth noting that there have been plenty of late strikes in recent meetings between the clubs, with five goals scored in the last five minutes of the last six matches.
