The Premier League features its most decisive game of the season this week as Arsenal lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in a season-defining clash at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

Manchester City vs Arsenal Preview

Arsenal are currently at the top of the Premier League but have endured a few potentially fatal stutters in recent weeks. The Gunners were stunned by Southampton's resilience in a 3-3 draw over the weekend and have a point to prove in this fixture.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form over the past month. The Cityzens eased past Sheffield United by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Manchester City vs Arsenal Prediction

Manchester City have come into their own since the turn of the year and are unlikely to relent towards the end of the season. Erling Haaland has been at his prolific best for Guardiola's side and will look to add to his burgeoning goal tally in this fixture.

Arsenal have been surprisingly poor this month and cannot afford another slip-up in this game. Manchester City are the better team at the moment, however, and hold the upper hand this week.
