Command Analysis
Last weekend, Erling Haaland delivered his fourth hat-trick in the current season. Manchester City crushed Wolverhampton (3:0), which allowed them to gain a foothold in the 2nd position in the Premier League standings. The City team is currently five points behind Arsenal.
The Sky-Blues hope to extend their incredible streak of nine home victories in the FA Cup. Moreover, they scored three goals in each of those nine games and overcame Arsenal in 13 out of 16 meetings under Pep Guardiola. In 20 rounds of the Premier League, Man City got 45 points from 14 wins and three draws. They have delivered 53 goals.
Dias, Mendy, and Laporte have been ruled out of this fixture.
Arsenal are enjoying a great run of form. They are unbeaten in the last seven games. The team can't boast of any superstars, but Mikel Arteta's charges are young and hungry for success, which has brought amazing results this far.
Last year, the Gunners lost in the 4th round of the FA Cup, but this season the North Londoners are in much better team form. After 19 rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal top the standings with 50 points from 16 wins and two draws.
