PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHDAY 5: Arsenal vs. Manchester City, Who Will Come Out Victorious¿


HEAD TO HEAD


•Eight of the last nine goals in Arsenal's matches have come after half-time.




•None of Arsenal's five matches this season have seen both teams score.

•Only one of City's last eight away league games saw both teams score.

Arsenal have already suffered a setback on that front by losing at Anfield before the international break, but they've responded in perfect fashion with two successive clean sheet victories since.

The Gunners executed a perfect European away performance in beating Athletic Club 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, and Mikel Arteta's men have the advantage of 48 hours more rest than their visitors here. That stacks the odds in Arsenal's favour, as does their return of three consecutive home league wins by an aggregate score of 9-0, but they've not managed four in a row without conceding since December 2021.


After a stuttering start to the season, Manchester City appear to have returned to their imperious best since the international break, firing in five goals without reply against Manchester United and Napoli in the last week.

Both those games came on home turf, but City have been strong of late on the road too, going unbeaten in five successive away league games without conceding (W3, D2) before losing their last such fixture to Brighton. Pep Guardiola's men have made a habit of poor results after midweek European action however, losing five of their last seven league games immediately after a Champions League outing (W2), one of which was a 5-1 defeat on this ground in February.
