Arsenal vs Manchester City Live Stream: Watch EPL Matches Live
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal have one test remaining in this Premier League season, and that test is Manchester City. Here are all the ways to watch the Gunners win.
Arsenal are so close to securing a group stage berth in next years Champions League. They sit three points up on Manchester City as they visit the Etihad, so the order of business is simple – beat the Citizens at their home ground and everything is well and good. Lose, and things get sticky. Arsenal would drop to fourth with a massive risk of falling further, should United continue to scrape points.
Arsenal is about as healthy as can be. The Ox is going to be the only missing piece, as he has suffered another injury, but other than that, Wenger has options. Santi Cazorla has made it perfectly clear that he wants to play. However, he has yet to feature since he returned from injury, so it’s very likely that he will be a substitute at the most. Wenger is not a fan of starting people off the bat when their fitness has yet to be tested.
Which doesn’t exclude Jack Wilshere. With more charges weighing on his name, Wilshere is in need of some good news, and a nice, healthy start against a rival like City would work wonders. However, the winning formula isn’t broken yet, so Wenger’s willingness to make changes may not have kicked into gear.
The only other big question is what’s to be done at striker. Arsenal are looking at a selection crisis in that neither choices are that great at the minute. Welbeck is on par with effort and overall contribution, but he still isn’t a consistent goal scorer. Meanwhile, Giroud is still in the biggest drought of his life.
Against a team like Manchester City, Arsenal is going to need as much firepower as they can get, because City will match them goal for goal. However, the Citizens defense took another blow with Kompany’s latest injury, so offensive prowess is the way to go.
A win puts the season to bed. Nothing is ever a given with Arsenal, but if they can win today and Tottenham sputter, then there will even more renewed hope that St. Totteringham’s Day won’t be canceled after all. Here are the ways to watch.
