Former Arsenal player Paul Merson has shared his prediction for the Gunners' clash with Man City this Sunday.
The pundit believes the result will be down to the fitness of key players for the two sides.
“If Kyle Walker and John Stones don’t play, I don’t see Arsenal not getting a result here," he said
"If all the players are fit for City, they will win this, because they just turn up and win big football matches. This result will hinge on the fitness of the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Walker and Stones.
“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves – the Gunners are still well behind City in terms of overall quality, because it is scary how good Pep Guardiola’s side can be when they are on song.
"They've won 19 and drawn three since last tasting defeat against Aston Villa in December. That’s what Arsenal are up against.”
“This is the match of the weekend. The goal difference between the two sides is massive right now. If Arsenal win this game, they go four points clear of City and with that goal difference, it could prove to be decisive in the title race.
“Both teams are evenly matched at the moment, however, and we could see a draw in this match. 1-1.”
