Arsenal vs. Manchester City is the last match of the 17th round of the English Premier League and is also the most attractive game of this round, because arch rivals Arsenal and Manchester City meet each other on the pitch.

These two teams are among the main favorites to win the title this season. Arsenal currently occupies the second place of the table and has two Coins behind the League leader Leicester City. In addition, Arsenal has had more success in the last matches against Manchester City and has recorded two home draws and an away win.

Arsenal

If it still adds that today’s hosts are in a very good form of gambling, and then is quite clear why they are very optimistic before this duel against the Manchester City. The charges of the coach Wenger have even recorded four wins and a draw in the last five matches. They have retracted the draw away at Norwich, but afterwards they celebrated at home against Sunderland and away at Aston Villa, which meant that they currently occupy the second place of the table.

The fact that they have made to the triumphs in the last two rounds of the Champions League in the knock out stage is much more important for them. Here we should particularly mention the 3 - 0 away win against Olympaikos.

Manchester City

The Manchester  City goes to this great derby of the Premier League after two home wins in a row. In the Champions League they have a 4 - 2 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach. We’d like to mention here that they already sure had reaching the knockout stage of the Champions League after four rounds played and their commitment in the last round is really commendable.

On the other hand they are located in the Championship in a small result crisis because they picked up only two home wins in the last five rounds against Southampton and Swansea, while they conceded a draw against Aston Villa, as well as a defeat against Stoke in the distance. In addition, they were defeated at home by Liverpool in the meantime. Because many failures are to blame, and so the injured defensive player Zabaleta and Kompany and midfielder Fernando and Nasri will miss Stadium this duel in the Emirates, while the back recovered Agüero may come in the starting eleven.

Hart - Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Kolarov - Fernandinho, Toure - de Bruyne, Silva, Sterling - Agüero (Bony)
