Manchester City will travel to Arsenal on Wednesday afternoon as the top two teams in the EPL will face-off for the first time this campaign.
This is an interesting time for these two teams to meet for the first time. While Arsenal have been flying all season, they have finally hit some adversity over the past week. The Gunners lost as massive favorites away to Everton 10 days ago and then followed that up with a draw against Brentford at home. You could make a salient, logical argument that Arsenal were outplayed in both contests and were lucky to even get one out of a possible six points.
The Gunners allowed 3.7 expected goals total against Everton and Brentford while managing to create just 2.5 for themselves. It was the first time all season that Arsenal allowed more than 1.6 expected goals in back-to-back contests and Brentford’s 2.0 xG was the worst mark of the season for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Manchester City is coming off a comprehensive victory over Aston Villa over the weekend, but the Cityzens have also dealt with some inconsistent form of late. City have won just five of eight matches in the Premier League since the World Cup hiatus and were eliminated from the EFL Cup by Southampton.
