The first game of the 2022 Premier League is a strong dialogue, the 21st round of the league Arsenal sat at home to meet Manchester City, because the Gunners manager is a former Manchester City assistant coach, coaching Arsenal after facing Manchester City has no victory, so it is difficult to win this round of matches, and the Gunners draw when winning. However, because Arsenal's defensive performance is also average, Manchester City has a high chance of winning this game, and Arsenal can avoid a fiasco. However, the Premier League's early game has more unpopularity, and Arsenal may also draw manchester City.
Manchester City are currently in first place in the Premier League table, eight points more than Liverpool in second place, and the team's recent performances have been stable, so the chances of losing points are relatively small. Arsenal are fourth in the first round of the junior round, and because some teams have postponed their matches, this round of matches is also not to be lost. The historical record of the two teams is that Arsenal is dominant, and Arsenal have won 23, 10 draws and 16 defeats in the 49 meetings of the Premier League era, but the record after the rise of Manchester City is absolutely superior.
Relevant data show that Arsenal last drew with Manchester City in April 2017, and the 9 meetings since then have been lost, so it is difficult to get out of this game even if they have home advantage. It has been halfway through this season, after Arsenal suffered a championship-winning team with a poor record, the only opponent to win is Tottenham Hotspur, the team has 0-2 Chelsea, 0-5 Manchester City, 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur, 0-4 Liverpool, 2-3 Manchester United, and has lost points on the weak brigade four times, although the end of 2021 has won five consecutive wins, but the opponents are weak teams, which is indeed not enough to explain anything.
The Arsenal manager was unable to supervise the match in this round of matches because Arteta was infected with the new crown, and the team's Fuan Jianyang, Cedric, Chambers and Niles could not play due to infection, and the lack of a squad was also obvious. In addition, Aubameyang has gone to the national team to prepare for the African Cup of Nations, so this game requires Lacazette to lead the team to meet Manchester City, and at the same time to play the role of Mr. Key.
In the last game, Manchester City beat Brentford 1-0 was also a close win, the team also had some fatigue, this game hit 11 consecutive wins, the squad will still carry out a certain rotation. The players who did not play in the last game were Steffen, Carson, Mbet, Palmer, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Sterling, Mahrez, and the next four are expected to start in this round. In the history of the Premier League, there have been 16 ten consecutive wins, Manchester City has 5 times, this data is also better than the other opponents, this game will impact 11 games, coincidentally Manchester City has completed a clean sheet against Arsenal in the last 5 times, the gap between the two teams plus Arsenal personnel shortage, it is difficult to get Manchester City does not have too many injury troubles, this game Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Mahrez, Sterling and others may be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
At present, Arsenal have 32 goals in 19 league rounds, conceding 23 goals, the lack of defense is very obvious, Manchester City scored 51 goals in 20 rounds, conceded 12 goals, attack and defense are the best in the Premier League. Arsenal's scoring power was Saka, who scored twice in the last game, along with Tierney, Lacazette and Smith. Rowe also scored, the first half of the game was crucial, Arsenal could only score points if they could score. Looking back at Manchester City's match against Brentford, the team shot 3 times on target in 12 shots, and Foden scored the only goal, which also shows that the team has more waves of shots. City have scored 31 goals and conceded six goals in their ten-game winning streak, and the only unsatisfactory game is
6-3 Leicester City and the first round of a 1-goal small victory over the weak team, because the scene is dominant, there are some problems in attack and defense, compared with the previous few games are big scores and clean sheet opponents, there is indeed some weakness in the recent past.
Arsenal were eighth in the Premier League last season and are also looking to be in the top four this season, so this game will also go all out. Judging from his recent performances, de Bruyne's key is still very obvious, and it is a pity that he hit the upright in the first round of the league, and it is possible to break the goal in this game. In addition, the chemical effects of De Bruyne and Glalis have also increased, and the odds of the two joining forces have also increased. De Bruyne assisted Foden in the last game and was judged to be offside, and has since created opportunities for his teammates several times.
In the last game, Díaz made a mistake in the backcourt, which almost led to the loss of the ball, and then there was another time to solve the problem, almost sending the oolong ball, if it were not for Ederson's repeated defusion of the crisis, the team may also end in a draw. Since then, he has also received a yellow card for defense, and it is indeed inappropriate to receive a yellow card in the first half. These are all opportunities that Arsenal can take advantage of, the manager is not on the sidelines, and the ability of the assistant coach is tested.
