Indeed, Arsenal face Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend, and to say that this is an important fixture is a serious understatement.
City and Arsenal have been the greatest of rivals in recent years as they’ve duked it out for the right to be called Premier League champions.
These games have been incredibly important and tight affairs in recent times, and it’s tough to predict who will come out on top this weekend.
Speaking on the Planet Premier League Podcast, Cesc Fabregas has been discussing this game, and he’s put his neck on the line and given a score prediction for this crunch clash.
The pundit says that he expects Arsenal to win this game, tipping his former side to come away 2-1 winners.

Cesc Fabregas tips Arsenal to win against Man City
Fabregas shared his verdict on how this game will go.
“I’m going for 1-2 to Arsenal. There will be goals, I’m sure, I’m pretty sure there will be goals,” Fabregas said.
Arsenal are underdogs
Of course, Fabregas’ prediction comes with an element of bias attached as the Spaniard is an Arsenal legend.
However, make no mistake about it, Arsenal come into this game as underdogs.
Manchester City are yet to drop a point in the Premier League this season, Pep Guardiola’s side have been nigh on unbeatable at home for a long time now, and Arsenal head into this game without their captain after Martin Odegaard’s injury.
Arsenal do know how to put this City side to the sword, but heading to the Etihad is never an easy task, particularly when you’re without a player who is as important as Odegaard.
Arsenal will have to produce something seriously special if they’re to beat City at the weekend.
