Manchester City Team News
In the previous round, the home team routinely “ran over” Chelsea with a convincing 4:0. Mahrez, Alvarez and Foden scored 3 goals in 15 minutes and decided the winner in the first half. However, what is a big doubt is whether the team from the Etihad Stadium is interested in giving their maximum in this competition, given the deficit to Arsenal in the Premier League,
The popular “citizens” have 5 points less than Arsenal, and the defeat in the EFL Cup against Southampton clearly showed that Manchester City is not too interested in trophies in “smaller” competitions. However, as the FA Cup is England’s oldest competition, we won’t be surprised if Pep Guardiola makes an exception.
Arsenal Team News
Few believed that Arsenal would “rise from the ashes” after a very poor last season. We can say without any doubt that the players of coach Arteta are playing the most beautiful football in England and that they deserve to be in the leading position at the halfway point of the season.
The Arsenal team showed a very luxurious offensive potential and quality, but at the same time, we have to mention that they conceded only 20 goals in 19 games. These are really impressive numbers for a team that no one gave serious chances to before the start of the season.
Arsenal defeated lower league side Oxford 3-0 in the last round of the FA Cup despite a “mixed line-up,” which was a clear sign that Arsenal wanted even this trophy.

Manchester City vs Arsenal Prediction
There will be no games in the Premier League this coming weekend, so both of them can play this game more relaxed than usual. Apart from the goalkeeper (both teams’ backup goalkeepers are expected to be in the starting 11), both Manchester City and Arsenal will have all the most important players available, so we are confident this could be another great display of football.
Thanks to Haaland’s hat trick, Manchester City defeated Wolves 3:0, while Arsenal’s goal from Nketiah at the end of the match brought victory to Arenal against Manchester United. Both teams have excellent goalscoring qualities and how they can play this game without too much pressure, we should expect a lot of excitement and goals in this match.
