January 29, 2025

The Premier League presents a blockbuster clash as Arsenal FC welcome Manchester City to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, February 2, 2025. With the Gunners sitting second in the table and City in fifth, both teams are desperate for points in the title race. Arsenal's strong home form and City's struggles on the road make this an intriguing battle between two of England’s top sides.

TEAM NEWS

Arsenal have been in excellent form this season, boasting a solid home record with seven wins and four draws. Their recent 1-0 victory over Wolves showcased their resilience, and under Mikel Arteta, they have developed into a well-drilled, attack-minded side. Meanwhile, Manchester City have been inconsistent, particularly away from home, with only five wins in 12 matches. Despite their attacking prowess—leading the league with 44 goals—City’s defensive vulnerabilities (29 goals conceded) could be a concern against Arsenal’s high-intensity play.
