Super Action In The English Premier League This Weekend
Manchester City and Arsenal will be the first big battle as both teams bound to lock horns at the Etihad Stadium, on Sunday.
With Manchester City on the best Premier League winning streak and a very strong form, having played 10 games, Won 9, Drew 1, it is an amazing record, not too surprising for a coach of Pep Guardiola's status.
Manchester City with an all attacking team have now scored 35 goals and conceded just 6.
Here is the top scorer list, featuring Kun Aguero, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.
However, Manchester City players are very skilled, attack minded, dangerous, and can convert goals given any chance. Other players who still pose as threats to Arsenal's fragile defense include, Leroy Sane, Kevin De Bruyne, and David Silva. Arsenal need to be wary of these players.
The current table shows City sitting top while Arsenal is placed at 5th.
And here is what Arsene Wenger has to say ahead of Sunday's clash with City, “I wouldn’t like to come out on [our approach] but of course we will try to play our game. We will not hide,” Wenger said.
“When we go there, we want to defend well but you cannot go there and only be focused on just defending. We want as well to play, have the ball and create dangerous situations. The best way to defend sometimes is to attack".
“When you want to play football, you have to accept the risk and you have to play. If you want to play football, when you walk out on the pitch you have to accept the gamble and the risk. It is part of the game".
“After, you have to rate the risk. Is it a bigger risk only to defend than to attack if a team is very strong in attack? Maybe it is a bigger risk only to defend.”
Elsewhere, Manchester United host Chelsea, another royal rumble at the top of the table.
