Manchester City stand at the 4th position and their main goal is to finish the season in the Top 4 and play in the Champions league next season. They have three points less than Arsenal, so if they manage to win this one, they will have the same number of points. On the other side, their city rivals, Manchester United have 4 points less and match less, so for Man City this game is very important. They have been eliminated in the Semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League against Real Madrid four days ago, but despite that fact they have made very good success in this competition this season. It was their third match in a row in which they failed to win, so they have to make good result upfront their supporters, but it’s questionable their motivation after few bad results. Another thing that could negative affect on home side is the fact that the match against Arsenal will be their 3rd match in the last 7 days.

Arsenal stand at the 3rd position and they still have a chance to reach the second place, but their main goal is to finish the season in the Top 3 and qualify directly in the Champions League next season. Their recent form is very good. Arsenal are unbeaten in the last 8 Premier League matches and they will do their best in order to stay unbeaten on this game. Visitors didn’t concede goal in the last three matches, but they will play against one of the best attacking team in Premier League and it will be hard for them to secure their net. But, Arsenal are in the better form, they don’t need a win and they will wait for their chance from the counter-attacks. Their attacker Sanchez is in the great form. True, he failed to score in the last two games, but without any doubt, he could be the most dangerous player for home side.

Manchester City vs Arsenal injuries and suspensions

Home team miss Vincent Kompany (14/2 d), Pablo Zabaleta (13/0 d), Aleksandar Kolarov (29/3 d) and David Silva. On the other side, visitors will be without Per Mertesacker (24/0 d) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (22/1 m).

Manchester City vs Arsenal possible lineups

Manchester City: Hart; Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Clichy; Nasri, Fernandinho, Toure, Sterling; Aguero, Bony.
Arsenal: Cech; Bellerín, Gabriel, Koscielny, Monreal; Elneny, Ramsey; Sanchez, Ozil, Iwobi; Welbeck.

Manchester City vs Arsenal Prediction

Home side have to go for a win in this game, but it will be hard against team from London. However, I expect interesting match between Manchester City vs Arsenal and goals in both nets.
