Arsenal take on Manchester City in the biggest game of the Premier League season.

Mikel Arteta’s side are six points clear at the top of the table, having played a game more, and are still the favourites to go all the way.

However, a defeat to Manchester City on Sunday would reduce the gap to just three points, with Pep Guardiola’s side still having a game in hand.

That would be disastrous for Arsenal, and fans will not like Paul Scholes’ prediction.

Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Ian Wright and Roy Keane predict Man City vs Arsenal score

Every football fan has an eye on the title decider between Arsenal and Manchester City on Sunday.

The Gunners are unbeaten in the Premier League against Guardiola’s side since 2023, and if they can maintain that record at the final whistle at the Etihad, they will likely be crowned champions.

However, City have looked incredibly strong recently, and they will go into the game on Sunday as the favourites to win it.

Speaking about the big clash, Gary Neville asked Scholes to predict the score.

“Two or three,” he said on the Stick to Football podcast.

Neville replied: “Two or three-nil? Wow! They can’t lose two or three-nil on Sunday.”

The former Manchester United right-back initially predicted a 1-1 draw, but after listening to Scholes, the duo teamed up and predicted a 2-1 win for City.

On the other side, Roy Keane and Ian Wright went for a 1-1 draw.

Arsenal should ignore pundits’ advice for Manchester City clash

A lot of people have an opinion on how Arsenal should approach the game against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Many people, including Thierry Henry, have claimed that they don’t want a draw and only want a win against Guardiola’s side.

That is what every Arsenal fan would want as well, but the Gunners cannot just go all out against City because people prefer to see a certain style.

We expect Arteta to be cautious on Sunday because a draw is a much better result for Arsenal than it is for Guardiola’s side.

That approach would not be wrong in our view, even though it will lead to a lot of criticism.
