Storylines
Man City: Inconsistent so far, City need to get something going, and chances are they will. The creativity has been there so far this season, but the match against Leeds, which was a 1-1 draw, was just an off day. City had 23 shots in that game and put only two on frame. Rarely does this team string together poor performances. City have plenty of depth to make up for the loss of Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus. Expect City to dominate the ball and to look much sharper in front of goal after the international break.
Arsenal: The Gunners have found some consistency under Mikel Arteta and look like a top-four contender, but this match against City will tell us plenty. The defense, with Gabriel, looks better. Even David Luiz looks more confident, but can they stop this Pep Guardiola attack again after doing it in the FA Cup semifinals? Thomas Partey, assuming the new signing plays, will be tasked with keeping City’s attack in check. If he can do that, Arsenal can win it.
Prediction
City get off to a hot start and put this one away in the second half with clinical finishing. Pick: Man City 3, Arsenal 2
