Manchester City v Arsenal takes place on Sunday at 4.30PM, and there’s a lot riding on it.
Arsenal have just cracked the top four, but this is the hardest left on their fixture list.
Another way of looking at the trip to the Etihad is that it’s an opportunity to end a run of 20 Premier League games without a win away to a ‘Big Six’ rival.
It can be done. We know thanks to the evidence provided by 14th-place Newcastle United in Tuesday evening’s 2-1 defeat of the reigning champions.
And if Pep Guardiola’s City side fail to defend their Premier League title, he can be sure questions will be asked of one of the most expensively assembled squads in the history of football.
So how do they make sure the gap between them and league leaders Liverpool doesn’t grow to seven or eight points after gameweek 25? According to one City fan, a certain star name settling back into Pep Guardiola’s line-up could be crucial: “We’ve played almost the whole of the season without him. But with him, we’re a different animal.”
Check out Statman Dave’s tactical analysis above to find out who the mystery Man City MVP is, along with an explanation of how Arsenal can “catch out” the hosts to shed their status as ‘Big Six’ whipping boys.
