Arsenal vs Manchester City: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 21, 2025

This Sunday, Arsenal will face Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium in a key Premier League match. Expect plenty of goals in this highly anticipated clash.

Match Preview

Arsenal have had a solid start to the season, with only one narrow loss to Liverpool, who are currently at the top of the table. Under Mikel Arteta, the team is scoring confidently, often netting three or more goals in home matches, showcasing their attacking and organized style. Even with some injuries, the Gunners remain a strong team.

Defensively, Arsenal have been reliable, allowing only one goal in four matches, and that goal was away. At home, they are tough to beat, having not lost in seven of their last eight games. Arteta’s squad depth enables him to make changes without losing quality.

Manchester City’s season has been a mix of good and bad performances. After facing setbacks, they responded strongly by defeating Manchester United, which might have given them a much-needed boost. However, issues with consistency and team selection persist.

When playing away, City tends to be more cautious, generally not conceding but lacking the attacking flair seen at home. With players like Haaland, Doku, and Bernardo Silva, they have the weapons to challenge any defense. Importantly, City have remained unbeaten in 12 of their last 14 Premier League matches, despite some recent struggles.
