The stage is set for a thrilling Premier League showdown as Arsenal travels to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to face defending champions Manchester City. This clash promises fireworks as both teams seek to establish their dominance early in the season.
Both Arsenal and Manchester City enter the match coming off a scoreless draw in their respective Champions League openers. City, under Pep Guardiola, drew against Inter Milan, while Arsenal battled to a stalemate against Atalanta. This match will be a chance for both sides to bounce back and secure their first Premier League victory of the season.
The two teams were locked in a tight race for the Premier League title last season, with City ultimately emerging victorious by just two points. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, however, is confident that his team is well-prepared for this challenge, having been focused on this match since the pre-season.
“We’ve been preparing for this since pre-season,” Arteta stated. “Obviously, we knew the schedule, and we know that it’s extremely rare to play in these conditions with three massive away games in six days.”
The match will kick off at 9:00 PM IST on Sunday, September 22nd at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. Fans can catch the live action on the Star Sports Network or stream the match on the Disney+Hotstar app and website. This is a match that no football fan should miss, as these two Premier League giants battle it out for bragging rights.
