Man City host Arsenal at The Etihad Stadium (Manchester) in the 3rd round of the 2021/22 Premier League season on Saturday, August 28 and the match kicks off at 12.30 pm (UK). Read our reasons for Man City vs Arsenal prediction and betting tips.
MAN CITY TO PUT HEAP EVEN MORE PRESSURE ON ARTETA
After defeat in both the Community Shield and their opening Premier League game, Pep Guardiola would've been glad to see his side pick up their first win of the season. Premier League champions got their first win of the season with a 5-0 thumping of newly-promoted Norwich at the Etihad. Jack Grealish scored on his home debut as the champions bounced back from an opening loss at Tottenham. Without De Bruyne and Phil Foden, let alone Harry Kane, the champions nevertheless ran riot. On the other hand, Arsenal and Mikel Arteta have started the new campaign on the wrong foot after kicking off the new season with a couple of defeats. The Gunners were beaten 2-0 at Brentford first up and then went down by the same scoreline at home to Chelsea. Nonetheless, Arteta presented a determinedly brave face to the outside world, but, unfortunately, they must visit Man City next before the international break may provide a welcome respite.
GREALISH GRABS GLORY BUT JESUS SHINES BRIGHTEST
England midfielder Grealish ingratiated himself with his new adoring fans thanks to his goal and typically busy display, but it was Jesus who unlocked the Canaries' cage to ensure this was a stroll. It's not the toughest test Pep Guardiola's side will face this season, but Gabriel Jesus once again showed why he should stay amidst the rumors of an exit. The Brazilian didn't score, but he assisted two and was influential in a wider position - initially from the right and later from the left.
Bigger tests, of course, await with Arsenal, Leicester, Chelsea, and Liverpool among their next five fixtures - with defeats in the Champions League final, Community Shield, and league to Chelsea, Leicester and Tottenham respectively still relatively fresh in the mind. However, they are the same team they were last year except for Sergio, who went to Barcelona, and last season was exceptional. They shouldn’t be worried, even if they don’t secure the signing of Harry Kane from Tottenham.
ARSENAL MAKE UNWANTED PIECE OF HISTORY
Arsenal had never opened a league campaign with two defeats and no goals in their previous 117 seasons of existence until now. For those who are tiring of Arteta, who believe he is unduly protected by the enormous caveat of the chaos at the club, here was a storehouse of ammunition. Yes, Arsenal have injury and illness problems - with £50m centre-back White out with Covid, Lacazette recovering from the illness and Aubameyang only fit for the bench after catching the virus too.
But all signs are already pointing to another season of struggle. After two eighth-placed finishes in a row, could it get even worse? It should not be impossible to instill at least a semblance of organization. As it is, it’s only the third time Arsenal have lost the first two matches of a season and their manager could almost certainly do without the trip to Man City on Saturday, especially with a game against West Brom in the EFL Cup looming in midweek.

Mikel Arteta’s troops failed to impress in back-to-back defeats having yet to open their goal account, and even though Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returned to contention at the weekend, we do not believe that the Gunners are capable of spoiling Man City’s party at Etihad Stadium. Considering that Kevin de Bruyne should recover in time to face the Gunners, BettingKick’s Man City vs Arsenal prediction is Man City win.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
