The Premier League features a massive clash between two English giants this weekend as Arsenal lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in a season-defining encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Arsenal vs Manchester City Preview
Arsenal are currently in third place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Gunners slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of French outfit Lens in their previous game and will need to work hard to bounce back this weekend.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment but have not been at their best this season. The Cityzens eased past RB Leipzig by a 3-1 scoreline in the UEFA Champions League this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
