Manchester City started with two defeats in a row, with which they reminded everyone that the team is played by people who tend to make mistakes. In the first match for the Super Cup, “heavenly” lost to “Leicester”, followed by a fiasco in the game against Tottenham (0:1). The team is performing well in the Champions League tournament, where after four rounds it chalked up three successful games and first place in the group. In the last two matches the citizens have dealt with Brugge twice (5:1 and 4:1). For 11 rounds of the current championship of England, the MC has seven victories and two peaceful outcomes, which brought 23 points and second place. After the defeat to Crystal Palace (0:2), the Mancunians defeated the compatriots from United (2:0) in the derby. It should be noted the performance of Manchester in defense, where the team conceded only six times. De Bruyne, Delap, Mendy, Torres and Grilish will not be able to play today.
This year Arsenal started very uncertainly. After the capital was unable to make it to the European Cups last year, having extra-class star players, the start of the new championship brought complete frustration for the fans and the leadership of the Gunners. Luck accompanies the team in the League Cup, where the red-whites have already made their way to the quarterfinals after a confident victory over the difficult Leeds United (2:0). In the English Premier League tournament the “gunners” are gaining momentum after a failure at the start and in 11 rounds they won six victories and two peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 20 points and fifth place in the standings. In the last three rounds Mikel Arteta’s charges defeated Aston Villa (3:1), Leicester (2:0) and Watford (1:0). Today Jaka, Kolashinac, Balgun and Tomas, who has a groin injury, will not be able to take part in the game.
