The top derby between her Manchester City and her Arsenal (22:00, Novasports Premier League, sport-fm.gr) is what stands out in its schedule 33rd matchday of the Premier League!
On the one hand, the “citizens” aim to repeat the appearance of the first round when they prevailed in London 3-1 for the 12th game. The Manchester team is going through an excellent period of form after counting four wins and a draw in their last five matches, having qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League by eliminating Bayern Munich, while also ensuring their presence in the FA Cup final, comfortably overcoming the barrier of Sheffield United. We remind you that City is in 2nd place counting 70 degreeshowever, having two games less against Arsenal.
In the competitive part, Pep Guardiola will be without Nathan Ake who is suffering from a hamstring injury.
On the other hand, Arsenal with a victory at “Etihad” will take a big step towards the title since they are in 75 degrees after 32 matches having collected 23 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses. The “gunners”, however, want to return to positive results after counting three draws in the last three matches, giving City the right to keep their hopes alive. We remind you that the “gunners” have to win the championship from 2004.
The manager of the London team and… pupil of Pep Guardiola, Mikel Artetahe will not have at his disposal Mohamed Elneny again, but also William Saliba and Takehiro Tomiyasu, while the participation of Granit Xhaka is also doubtful.
This will be the 26th match at Premier League level between the two teams at Manchester City’s home ground, with the wins so far split (11-11) while three matches have ended in a draw.
The last time Arsenal left City with “three points” was in the 2014/15 season when, for the 22nd matchday, the “gunners” prevailed 2-0 with goals from Kathorlas and Giroud.
Possible lineups:
Manchester City (Pep Guardiola): Anderson- Walker, Stones, Diaz, Gomet- Rodry, Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne-Mahrez, Grealish, Haaland
Arsenal (Mikel Arteta): Ramsdale- White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko- Partey, Jorginho- Saka, Edegaard, Martinelli- Jesus
