Predicted XIs, Tactical Analysis & Etihad Campus Insights
Manchester City have put the heat back on Arsenal with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Brentford at the Etihad on Saturday. Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush were all on target to help the Citizens bounce back from their disappointing draw at Everton. Man City now face a make-or-break week of action, which will see them play their Premier League game in hand against Crystal Palace, before taking on Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Kick-off: Wednesday 13 May, 20:00 BST
TV: Sky Sports
Referee: TBC
Next up: Crystal Palace
Man City fans will be pleased to see their side having back-to-back home games, especially after struggling to a 1-0 win away at Burnley and drawing at Everton in their last away days in the Premier League. Crystal Palace will be buoyed by reaching the Conference League final and Oliver Glasner will no doubt he looking to go out in style. However, a trip to Manchester City to play Pep Guardiola’s title-hungry side will be no easy feat for the Eagles, who also have their own Premier League safety to worry about due to sides below them picking up wins.
