Man City’s strength is Arsenal’s weakness

Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola meet again on Saturday where master faces off apprentice, Arteta had left Manchester to run Arsenal recently. Gunners have gone through an overhaul ever since he joined but hasn’t been able to work on one persistent issue, they are great on the attack side but fail to defend themselves. Man City will have to carefully contain players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, though the probability of Arsenal outsmarting Man City on the attacking side is quite low. Man City last season was among the top five of Europe for shots averaging at 19.2 attempts per match, and teams like Bayern Munich, Juventus, PSG, Liverpool and Real Madrid all were part of the top 15 clubs.
