Arsenal is looking to extend their lead in the league table with a win against Manchester City who is also aiming to steal the top spot. These two teams are next to each other in the league table. Arsenal is at the top of the league table with 75 points, while Man City is at the second with 70 points. These two teams are likely to enter the Champions League for the next season, as they are likely to seal the top two spots. Arsenal and Man City are just battling against each other for their spots in the contest. This is in fact the most highly-anticipated match in the Premier League, so expect this game to be a clash. Man City is set to host this match on April 27, 2023, at 3:00 AM (GMT+8).
These two teams have met for 207 times already in their history, and it was the visitors who holds a huge advantage. From those 207 matches, they have won 98 games, while the hosts only have 64 wins. However when it comes to their meetings in the Premier League, it seems like the hosts can be more confident here. The hosts won 11 of their last 12 matches against the visitors in the league. This record gives the hosts the confidence that they can inch closer to the top as they have a chance to win here. The visitors on the other hand are not doing well against the hosts which is why they are aiming to turn the tables around here.
Arsenal
Arsenal is currently sitting at the top of the league table with 75 points, but it is not yet a safe lead for them. With that, they want to earn more wins in the contest, so they could extend their lead and seal the top spot. However, recently, it looks like the Arsenal is slowing down a little bit, as they are stuttering recently. In fact, they are from a disappointing 3-3 draw against Southampton. They were stunned by how resilient their opponent was in that match, and did not get intimidated by them. With that, they are looking to prove a point in this match, as they can no longer afford another loss. If they want to seal the top spot, they really need to address their issues in order to win this game.
William Saliba is unavailable for Arsenal as he is still recovering from his back injury. He will be with Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Mohamed Elneny. Granit Xhaka on the other hand remains a doubt here, following his illness.
Manchester City
Man City on the other hand is at the second of the league table with 70 points. Although they have a five-point difference against Arsenal, they remain hopeful to steal the top spot with them. This is not impossible though as they have a good momentum going against their opponent here. Man City is a team who have been in an excellent form recently, so they likely have a chance here. They are from a 3-0 win against Sheffield United, and are now aiming for the same result here. There are no signs that Man City is going to go easy in this match, following their good run. With the leadership of Erling Haaland, they are confident that they can defeat Arsenal in this game.
Nathan Ake is unlikely to be available here, as he is still nursing his thigh injury. Aside from him, there are no fitness concerns for Man City.

Manchester City (1.5)
