The Premier League will vibrate this Sunday with a clash between Arsenal, third, and Manchester City, first. For both teams, it is an opportunity to strike a major psychological blow.

If Manchester City are still in the lead, they saw their lead diminish last week following their defeat at Wolverhampton which was followed by elimination in the League Cup. But the team of Pep Guardiola reassured itself in the Champions League by winning in Leipzig (1-3). In addition to Kevin De Bruynestill injured, the technician will also have to do without Rodri, suspended. Guardiola also confirmed that John Stones wouldn’t be there either.

Opposite, Arsenal came back well but the defeat at Lens on Tuesday (2-1) might hurt the head, especially as Bukayo Saka was injured and is very uncertain for the long-awaited clash while Gabriel Martinelli might make his return. Leandro Trossard might well take advantage of this to secure a second tenure in a row.

This season, the two teams have already faced each other during the Community Shield, a meeting which turned to the advantage of the Gunners who emerged from penalties. Before that, City had won their last eight matches once morest the Gunners.
