Where other teams have tried and failed this year, it’s the turn of the Arsenal to try their hands.
The curious case of Manchester City’s title charge this season has taken on that popular phrase,
“Who will bell the cat?”
Yet to taste defeat this year and yet to finish a game in 2021 without winning it, Pep Guardiola’s men are firing on all cylinders. 24 games without a loss, currently on a 17-game winning streak, at least 10 points ahead of the team nearest to them on the log, they’re easily the best team in the country.
In a month where they have conquered the likes of Tottenham and Liverpool, they’ll face Arsenal.

For Mikel Arteta, it’s another opportunity to ruffle the feathers of his former boss. But with just two wins in their last seven, now is not the best time to face this Man. City side. While their 4-2 win over Leeds was a rampant one, Man. City’s light years ahead of Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
And the Gunners will know this when they welcome the Citizens to the Emirates in this Super Sunday clash.

This will be the fifth time both managers will be facing off, with Guardiola winning the last two meetings. Down in 10th place, the Gunners have to find a way past this opponent if they’re to bounce back from their Europa League draw.
For City in this clash, it’ll be all about maintaining their momentum. 14 clean sheets in the 24 league games played, and just 15 goals conceded, this one should be an easy one for them.
They have also scored first in seven of their last seven.
Will they make it eight of eight in this one?

The upside for Arsenal in this one is that no team goes on an unbeaten run forever. Sooner or later, the Citizens will have to drop points. But will they be the ones to stop Guardiola’s moving train?
At home, they’ve not particularly fared well against Man. City. Arsenal have lost their last three home games against this particular opponent, without scoring a goal, despite conceding eight.
Yes, it’s football, and anything can happen. However, with an Arsenal win priced at 6.30 odds, you get the sense that they are the outsiders to win this one. With odds stacked against them and all the stats well in favor of the top side in the league, can Arsenal pull of a surprise win in this one?
