Arsenal’s title dreams on the line

With there growing concerns around the Emirates that Arsenal could end the 2024/25 campaign without a single piece of silverware to show for their troubles, Arteta’s men will have a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders here.
However, despite suffering a collapse on home soil against Aston Villa on January 18th as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate, the Gunners have largely impressed since opening the New Year.
Collecting a 2-1 victory against arch-rivals Tottenham last month, Arsenal have registered 13 points from their previous five appearances across all competitions.

City finding their clinical edge
Although Manchester City might have long since accepted that they will be unable to shatter more domestic records this season, the defending champions have started to show signs of their free-flowing best in the final third.
Notching a trio of Champions League goals against Club Brugge earlier in the week as they avoided an infamous European exit, the Sky Blues have recorded at least a pair of strikes in all of their last eight appearances across all competitions.
Securing what was an eye-catching 3-1 victory against Chelsea last weekend, Pep Guardiola’s men have notched 28 goals since opening the New Year.
With England international Phil Foden remarkably bagging six goals in just his previous four Premier League appearances, Man City will be confident of testing an Arsenal defence that has shown some inconstancies.
Although Guardiola’s side might be pencilled in as a real underdog on Sunday afternoon, City’s attacking superstars will certainly cause some real headaches.

Chances to fall at both ends
While Man City might have found a real clinical edge since opening the New Year, Guardiola’s men are desperately seeking some much-needed stability at the other end of the pitch.
Including that frantic 4-2 loss away at PSG last month, Sunday’s guests have recorded just a trio of clean sheets from any of their previous 13 appearances across all competitions.
Likewise, suffering another late collapse against Brentford on January 14th as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in west London, City have remarkably registered just two Premier League clean sheets away from the Etihad since a 2-0 win against Chelsea on the opening weekend.
Although Arsenal might have snatched a 1-0 victory away at Wolves last weekend, it is fair to say that the Gunners have shown their own respective issues at the back.
Watching their FA Cup adventure come to an end at the hands of historic rivals Manchester United on January 12th, Sunday’s hosts have yet to record a domestic clean sheet in north London since opening the New Year.
