Arsenal will face Manchester City at Emirates Venue stadium in London, England, beginning on January 1, 2022 at 12:30 UTC. The match is a Premier League encounter.
When Manchester City takes on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon, they will be trying for their 11th Premier League victory in a row. The Citizens are presently eight points clear of second-placed Chelsea at the top of the league, while Arsenal are four points ahead of fifth-placed West Ham United in fourth place.
Arsenal suffered a lot of criticism in the first few months of the 2021-22 season, but the Gunners have won their past five matches in all competitions, including four straight Premier League triumphs over Southampton, West Ham United, Leeds United, and Norwich City.
Mikel Arteta’s side has scored 14 goals in their last three games, including a 5-1 thrashing of Sunderland in the EFL Cup on December 21 and a five-goal thrashing of Norwich in the league on Boxing Day.
The Gunners were scheduled to play Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on December 28, but the game was postponed owing to coronavirus concerns in the Wolves camp. Despite this, the North London team has played 19 Premier League games in the upcoming season.
They have 35 points from 11 wins, two draws, and six defeats, which puts them in fourth place, four points ahead of fifth-placed West Ham. However, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United will both believe they are solidly in the top-four battle at this stage of the season.
Arteta will not be on the bench for this match, as the Spaniard tested positive for coronavirus, and there is rumoured to be a coronavirus outbreak among the club’s employees. Man City, on the other hand, will be coming off a 1-0 victory over Brentford on Wednesday night, with Phil Foden scoring the game’s only goal against Thomas Frank’s team.
The Citizens have now won each of their last ten league games, propelling them to the top of the table with 50 points from their first 20 games of the 2021-22 season. Pep Guardiola’s side is eight points clear of second-placed Chelsea and nine points clear of third-placed Liverpool, and with second hosting third in the league on Sunday, Man City might be even further clear at the top moving into the next round of English Premier League fixtures.
The reigning English champions face Swindon Town in the FA Cup on January 7 before facing Chelsea in the league on January 15, and there’s a chance they’ll start to pull away from the pack.
