There is a lot of fabric left to cut Premier League so that the suit that will dress the champion this season is made, but what will happen this Sunday (5:30 pm) in Etihad Stadium It promises to be decisive in the future of competition. We are still in the 5th of 38 days until there will be an English championship, but they are measuring the City of Manchester and the Arsenalthe two teams that, with the permission of Liverpool and the other ‘outsiders’ of this Premier, are recognized as the main candidates to win the title. The teams that have ‘duopolized’ this match for the last two seasons are facing each other and it looks like they will repeat the match this season. Therefore, although it may come too early, the Manchester City-Arsenal This afternoon was undoubtedly the highlight of this weekend’s international football.
Both of those Pep Guardiola as in Mikel Arteta They come into this rivalry after not being able to make a successful debut in the new Champions League.

Haaland vs. David Raya
It has a lot to do with him not kissing the canvas. Arsenal a David Raya who scored undoubtedly one of the moments to remember in this Champions League by doubling the Retegui in a penalty shot. The Spanish goalkeeper completely stabilized the possession of the goal of Arsenaleven forcing a frustrated man to leave last summer Ramsdaleand this afternoon he will have the difficult task of fighting to keep a clean sheet against an unrivaled offensive arsenal like the one at his disposal Pep Guardiola to your City of Manchester. The most lethal weapon of the Mancunian team is a Erling Haaland who will come ‘stung’ in this event after missing out on the aforementioned rivalry against Inter. The Norwegian is sometimes accused of not being decisive in big games and after proving his detractors last Wednesday with a really poor performance, he will have a chance to get revenge against Arsenal. He hasn’t done too badly so far in the Premier League, scoring 9 goals in just 4 days.
