Arsenal take on the visitors Manchester City in the postponed round 12 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 15th at Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal had been in the lead for almost entire season. But there have been misfires, several times in a row. And it all started with the match against Manchester City - and the final 0-1 there. But that was the FA Cup, in which the final is still far away. And this defeat was attributed to the desire of the Gunners to get rid of the load, focusing on the Premier League. It was only after that that the leader of the draw sensationally lost to the fighter for survival, Everton, failing to respond to Tarkovsky's only goal. And at the weekend, the capital's grand "red-whites" limited themselves to a draw with Brentford. Yes, it was not without a gross error of the referees - Tawney scored from an offside, which was not considered even with VAR. But this will not change the final draw result and, as a result, a decrease in the gap from the star pursuer.

Manchester city received a very serious "kick" from the board of the Premier League. The giant is accused of more than a hundred violations of the rules of financial fair play, which promises deprivation of all the trophies won over the decade and even demotion from the Premier League. But the proceedings will definitely drag on for a long time, and Guardiola is clearly determined to prove to everyone that his “citizens” have something to envy from everyone else. This can provide the very motivation that was so lacking. And it is noteworthy that if earlier there was another misfire in the form of 0-1 with Tottenham, then with Aston Villa they took solid 3-1 win. It is noteworthy that the champion scored all his goals before the break. Riyad Mahrez has a goal and an assist. But Erling Holland could not improve his unique goal statistics. True, he still added a “point” to his own statistics. It was from the pass of the textured Norwegian that Gundogan scored the 2nd goal in the match against the Villans. But the main thing is that now the leader is only 3 points away - however, Arsenal played 1 match less.
Mentioned 1-0 in the cup in January was already the 6th victory in a row for Manchester City in head-to-head duels. The last victory of Arsenal dates back to 2020, and in the framework of the Premier League - even 2015. Bookmakers consider the wards of Pep Guardiola to be the favorite of this fight. But the current Arsenal will definitely try to succeed. We risk predicting the final "total over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
