Manchester City take on the visitors Arsenal in the round 33 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 26th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester City are currently one of the best, if not the best team in the world. Midway through the season, Guardiola's team began to dominate their opponents, scoring three goals per match. They are now the main contenders for the championship. City's last defeat was back in February against Tottenham. Since then, the team has beaten two German teams - Leipzig and Bayern - in the Champions League and reached the final of the English Cup, while simultaneously crushing their opponents in the league.

Before the World Cup break, Arsenal fans had high hopes for this season. However, it is the defense that has let them down, despite being the best in the Premier League before the break. Arsenal has drawn three matches in a row, two of which could have easily ended in defeat. It seems that the pressure, as well as Saliba's injury, has affected the young players and Arteta. Nevertheless, the team's attacking power is excellent, and for the first time in several years, the coach has several quality players to choose from in the attacking line-up. Even from the bench, there are players to be brought on, which was a problem for Arsenal in the first half of the season.
The two best attacks in the league, Arsenal with 77 goals and City with 78, are meeting, and overall these are the two best teams in England this season. However, City has significant problems in defense. Five goals conceded against West Ham and Southampton cannot be ignored. They need to sound the alarm. Arsenal has nothing to lose, and they need to beat Guardiola at the Etihad to have a chance at the championship. Therefore, they will attack immediately, knowing that if they drop too low, they will inevitably concede. In any case, they will concede when Holding plays against Holland in the center of defense. I expect an exciting match, perhaps the best match in terms of hype and intrigue this season. It will be very interesting to see if young players like Saka and company can become superheroes for the red part of North London.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
