In both the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, Pep Guardiola’s team came out on top. However, according to Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, this year is shaping up to be different.
“We have been preparing for this since preseason. Obviously, we received the schedule and know that it’s extremely rare to play under these conditions, with three important away games in six days. But that’s what happened, so we prepared for it physically, mentally, and tactically,” he said in a press conference.
However, the historical record is not favorable for the visitors. In 13 matches against City, the Spanish coach has managed only two victories, with two draws and nine losses.
In the current edition of the Premier League, Manchester City leads with 12 points from 4 games, while Arsenal follows closely with 10 points. Based on the football displayed so far and the history of their encounters, an exciting match is expected. Stay in the know with BB Score.
