Premier League Predictions & News
Premier League Preview: Can City steal a march on Arsenal?
There was nothing to separate title rivals Man City and Arsenal last Sunday as John Stones’ last-minute equaliser saw it finish 2-2 at the Etihad.
It leaves City, who lost Rodri to injury in that match, a point clear at the top, with the Gunners a couple behind in fourth. That gap could increase with Pep Guardiola’s side playing before their rivals this weekend.
Elsewhere, Liverpool travel to Wolves and Sunday’s standout clash sees Man Utd host Spurs at Old Trafford.
