It’s time for another great Premier League derby because Arsenal hosts Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium in London. Stay with us and our free soccer predictions daily for this clash. Here we go!

This is a game between two of the main contenders for the title. Arsenal are currently third in the league, but just one point behind the leader Man City. For the Gunners this is an opportunity to eventually top the league again.

Arsenal are unbeaten in the Premier League since the start of the season – five wins and two draws. Alongside Tottenham Hotspur, they are the only unbeaten team in the league so far. And they would like to keep that record against Manchester City on Sunday.

Arsenal have a huge problem after their Champions League defeat against Lens on Tuesday. It’s all related to one of their best players – Bukayo Saka. The English international left the pitch injured and he won’t play against Manchester City. So now the manager Mikel Arteta must make a decision – who will replace Saka against the champion?

Gabriel Martinelli is missing the game as well so Arteta could choose between Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus, Reiss Nelson and Emile Smith Rowe – they are all options for the Spanish manager.

Manchester City are leaders in the league with 18 points, but last weekend Pep Guardiola’s team suffered its first defeat for the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Now City are aware that they would be doomed if they play in the same way at the Emirates.

Jack Grealish could return in Manchester City’s starting eleven against Arsenal. The winger was an important part of the treble-winning team last season, but now he finds himself on the bench more often. This should motivate Grealish to do better and win Guardiola’s trust again. If he starts against Arsenal, it’d be a terrific opportunity for him to show his class.

Erling Haaland once again leads the Premier League’s goalscoring chart with 8 goals scored from the beginning of the season. The Norwegian striker will be important for City against Arsenal. He’s not just scoring goals, but also causing a havoc in the penalty area which opens free space for his teammates. Julian Alvarez is one of the players who can use those free spaces and eventually score.

Man City had a bad game in defense against Wolves – that’s something they have to change against Arsenal. It means that Josko Gvardiol could return in the line-up after staying on the bench against Wanderers.

Manchester City’s biggest problem at the moment is the absence of Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri. Both players won’t participate in the derby against Arsenal. It means that players like Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes most likely will start again in midfield.
