Arsenal bounced back from their Anfield disappointment by beating Nottingham Forest in the league and then dispatching Athletic Club 2-0 in the Champions League group stage. Mikel Arteta’s side are unbeaten at the Emirates this season and will be confident in front of their home support.
Injuries are a concern, though, with Bukayo Saka, Ben White, and Martin Ødegaard all doubtful. William Saliba’s return offers a defensive boost, but the absence of Saka and Gabriel Jesus could blunt their attack.

Manchester City beat Manchester United in the derby before cruising past Napoli in Europe, suggesting Pep Guardiola’s men are regaining rhythm. The return of John Stones would strengthen their backline, while Rodri should be fresh after being rested midweek.
However, City’s inconsistency early in the season raises questions, and they’ve already dropped costly points away from home.
MatchPlug Prediction for Arsenal vs Manchester City
This matchup pits Arsenal’s home strength against City’s vast experience in high-pressure games. If Saka or Ødegaard are fit, Arsenal’s attack has the quality to trouble Guardiola’s defence, while City’s midfield control remains their biggest weapon.
Final Prediction: Arsenal to win & Over 2.5 Goals (Correct Score 3-1).
