I didn’t think I was going to say this when I started this blog, but I fancy City here. They’re finding it easier to score and stop the opposition scoring, but more than that they’ve a more settled style. Arsenal, on the other hand, are still searching for form and confidence so, though they’ve the means to win, City look better equipped to control proceedings.
Arsenal, meanwhile, might look to playing into and off Russo, but without Miedema they might be a creative player short – and they’ve been struggling to score this season. They’ll need something from Mead today.
