Arsenal are preparing to host Manchester City on Sunday, October 8, 2023.
Ahead of the game, BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton has made a prediction. According to Sutton, City will celebrate 2-1 win.
City are currently leading the league table with 18 points, while the Gunners are 3rd with 17 points, the same points as second-placed Tottenham.
“Arsenal will still be dangerous without Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, but you’d give them far more of a chance if they were coming into this game at full tilt,” Sutton wrote on BBC.
“City’s squad is stretched too and their striker Erling Haaland is having something of a quiet spell with only one goal in his past four games, but I certainly wouldn’t write him off.
“Even if City don’t play that well, they are resilient and I can see them hitting Arsenal with a sucker-punch – yes they lost twice last week, but they won’t lose too many more games this season.”
