All speculation that Erling Haaland “broke down” was disproved last Saturday when the “goal machine” from Norway scored a fourth hat-trick in a row, raising his personal score. In addition, the 3:0 victory over Wolverhampton temporarily brought City five points closer to league leaders and now FA Cup rivals Arsenal. While the Gunners may have the upper hand in the race for the Premier League title, it is the Citizens who are looking to extend their incredible streak of nine home victories in the FA Cup. Also, remember that the Blues have scored at least three goals in all nine home cup victories and with 13 wins in 16 duels against the Gunners under Pep Guardiola, only the bravest can bet against them. In 20 rounds of the current season, Man City have won 14 victories and three draws, which corresponds to 45 points and the second position in the standings. It should be noted 53 goals scored by the Mancunians. Diaz, Laporte and Mendy will not be able to take part in this fight.
Led by former Guardiola aide Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are enjoying an ongoing seven-game unbeaten streak. There are no superstars in the team, but the head coach managed to instill in the players a passion for success, which brought quite tangible results. The Gunners lost last season in the fourth round of the FA Cup, but today the situation can be changed. In addition, there is hope that the victory in this tournament over Man City will eventually bring this prestigious trophy to the capital. For 19 rounds of the current championship, the Londoners have recorded 16 victories and two draws, which correspond to 50 points and the first line in the standings. It is impossible not to note the brilliant performance in defense, while the leader scored 45 times. In the last two rounds the Gunners defeated Tottenham (2:0) and Manchester United (3:2). Elneni, Nelson and Jesus, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today. More soccer prediction for today can be obtained from the link provided.
