Arsenal host champions Manchester City at the Emirates on Sunday in the Premier League.
Arsenal come into the game after a morale-boosting league win over West Ham United whilst City lost their last top-flight match against arch-rivals Manchester United.
On paper, it looks like a cracker and Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas agrees, predicted that it will be a high-scoring 2-4 defeat for Arsenal. As quoted on Sky Sports, he said:
We can guarantee goals in this one. I am going to go for a high scoreline here. Man City posted an emphatic win midweek but have major problems at the back. The Arsenal strikers looked as though they were more up for it and are scoring. These are the games that they haven’t got a result in and I am not expecting one here.
Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sometimes do not turn up in these games, if they get picked that is. I really have sympathy for Bernd Leno.

Everyone is hoping for a classic encounter and due to the fragility of both defences, we may get exactly that.
However, predicting Arsenal to lose isn’t the most surprising thing you’ll hear, because it is slightly true when you think about it.
