Given the Arsenal’s decline in performance in last 5 matches may have given enough chances for the defending champions Manchester City already before even the face-off on Wednesday’s match at Emirates Stadium. While Arsenal have topped the table for weeks but they are facing the one of the best club teams in the last two decades.
The defending champion Manchester City FC may have had hurdles here and there this season but have managed to bounce back in crucial matches to keep the points table ticking. As a result, they are in second in the table. But given their recent performance, the Citizens are looking detrimental as seen in last two years.
We can already see a decline in Arsenal’s performance in last the few weeks, the last two matches have not seen a victory for them. Their loss to Everton FC should have had some personal damage with few players, as a result, they could not make a comeback as they drew with Brentford by 1-1.
Head-to-head
To rub salt into the wound, Manchester City have had kept dominating performance against Arsenal FC in last 6 head-to-head as they have won last 6 in both the occasions. While Arsenal have forced goals at home games but ended up as losing side.
