The most successful side in FA Cup history will take on current title holder on Saturday at Wembley Stadium. Arsenal will host Manchester City in FA Cup semi final this weekend. This will be do or die match for both sides as winner of this competition will enter finals.
Arsenal have won FA Cup in three of the last six seasons but last year it was Manchester City who clinched title with 6-0 win over Watford in the finals.
Manchester City will be boosted by the fact that they have already beaten Gunners by 3-0 in Premier League Round on June 17. It will be real test for Mikel Arteta and company to tackle Citizens.
A 2-1 victory over newly crowned Premier League Champions will certainly add lot of confidence in Arsenal’s camp ahead of their biggest game of the season.
Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez were benched against Bournemouth and the trio should be back in starting 11 for this important clash. This may be called as an intelligent strategy from Pep Guardiola’s side to keep his play makers fresh for such crucial games.
In last 12 meetings between these two sides we have witnessed 3.25 goals per 90 minutes. Since the project restart, Manchester City have scored 27 goals in their 9 fixtures. Apart from this City have dominated in games against Gunners since 2017 and they will be targeting their 8th straight victory over Gunners in all competitions.
