The last two Premier League campaigns have seen Arsenal and Manchester City Duel for Glory, but this year is a little different.
Few people would have been expected Premier league The champions to be the team which hears a disappointing and incoherent season, but the conquerors of Pep Guardiola have made their status as a better team from England this quarter.
However, it was not Arsenal who took the mantle, the Gunners this time while fighting Liverpool for high -flying supremacy. Mikel Arteta’s men are trying to follow the pace of league leaders as the campaign concluded.
The battle on Sunday between Arsenal and Man City could have lasting consequences in the fight for the title of this year, a desperate Arsenal for the victory at home of the Cityzens for the second successive season.
With the September meeting which launches a lot of drama and chaosHere are the main battles that could prove to be crucial at the Emirates stadium.
The Etihad stadium conflict in September was embodied by the fierce skirmish between Arsenal Gabriel central back and Man Striker Erling Haaland. The two were locked in a fiery individual duel for a large part of the competition and neither left with the loot while the Gunners of ten men conceded incredibly late to John Stones in a match No 2-2.
The pair has often locked the horns in Manchester, including an incident during which Haaland launched the ball at the back of the defender’s head, and they renew their rivalry on Sunday.
With William Saliba back for the Gunners, Haaland will again try to isolate Gabriel. The central rear is not entirely in the same stratosphere as its defensive partner despite having prospered in the last 18 months.
Gabriel will suffer a difficult afternoon in his attempts to keep Haaland under the Wraps, the Norwegian resurgent having now marked three in his last four games. The physical approach of the two will undoubtedly capture the public’s attention on Sunday and the winner of the battle could well celebrate the rooty rights of the final whistle.
There are many similarities between Martin Odegaard and Kevin de Bruyne. The duo shares a few key attributes, including an effortless sliding process and an exceptional passage of passage, and they will both be an integral part of their side this weekend.
In particular, Odegaard could have a huge impact. With Bukayo Saka injured, Arsenal will count even more on the ingenuity of their skipper, who will carry the creative burden of his team almost alone. Operating in the right half-space that his Bruyne counterpart loves so much, he should have joy against a defense of the city of Man Misching.
De Bruyne’s influence on reigning champions is in decline with each passing month, but the Belgian can always be a manufacturer of difference in northern London. He has provided four assists since the start of the year and can still be an amazing creator of his day.
Omar Marmoush was probably not a signature that Man City had to make, but that does not harm his obvious quality. The Egyptian experienced a dazzling increase during his stay with Eintracht Frankfurt and succeeded 33 goals in 26 games for the German outfit before its release of January.
The rapid and clinical striker, who can operate as an attacker or central winger, made his debut against Chelsea against Chelsea and is online to start on Sunday after missing the The Champions League clashes with the Brugge club in the middle of the week.
The Egyptian will probably come up against Jurrien Timber to the Emirates and this should be an intriguing battle between the pair. The Arsenal defender played in a range of roles this quarter, but he will make bread on the new recruit of Man City.
Having just seen Arsenal Submission for striker Aston Villa Ollie WatkinsKai Havertz now knows that his position is threatened. The German was criticized during the last month for his waste in front of the goal and the injury at the end of the season of Gabriel Jesus only underlined more pressure on his shoulders.
But Havertz has scored two in his last four appearances and is still a player who creates chances through his intelligent moment and his technical quality. Finding your shooting boots on Sunday will be an integral part of Arsenal’s success.
Manuel Akanji will be one of the semi-centers responsible for stifling Havertz and the powerful international in Switzerland was faced with the former Chelsea man during the reverse match, limiting him all at a time and an XG of 0.07.
