After a run of five wins (across competitions), this next game will be tougher for Arsenal, who welcome title holders Manchester City in Saturday’s Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium at 06:00 pm (IST). The Gunners are on a run of four consecutive wins in the home league but will have to be without their manager Mikeal Arteta on New Year’s Day. It is also the latest setback for Arsenal after their clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 28 was cancelled due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Wolves camp. However, despite playing with a depleted side, Arteta’s charges claimed a 5-0 victory at Norwich City on Boxing Day and seem well rested for this high-octane clash.
Meanwhile, the reigning champions Manchester City are marching onwards in contention to retain their Premier League title. Pep Guardiola’s wards fought hard to win against Brentford and secure their 10th Premier League win in a row. City are now leading the table with 50 points in their kitty from 20 games and are eight points clear of second placed Chelsea and nine above 3rd-place Liverpool. A win at the Emirates would increase the gap to a potentially insurmountable 12 points.
