Manchester City vs Arsenal
Cometh the hour, cometh the men! Arsenal head to Manchester at the weekend and Arsene Wenger needs an almighty performance from his team to overturn overwhelming betting odds.
Okay, the Gunners are on a run of four consecutive wins but City has trebled that, winning football games in great style all season, and the betting websites have long since installed the Sky Blues as clear favourites for the title.
Pep Guardiola seems to have learned enough in his first season at the Etihad to build an irresistible force in his second. The world class form of Kevin de Bruyne and the frightening goal threat of Gabriel Jesus, Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane… I could go on; is enough to scare the most bullish of North Londoners.
But somehow Arsenal needs to stand up and face the biggest test of the season.
Alexis Sanchez will be the focus, having caused ill-feeling between the two clubs over a potential move last summer. It may still happen but Sanchez must play for his current employer and colleagues to unlock a City defence, which is always likely to give him a chance.
To get a result Arsenal will need more than a single goal against a City side which scores for fun. And recent history is in Pep’s favour as City only lost twice at home against Arsenal.
If Wenger can make it three, not only will his team start to believe they can win the title, the football world will have an almighty shock.
