Manchester City and Arsenal will meet in the fourth round of the FA Cup. How will the upcoming leaders of the English Premier League end? We'll figure it out.
Manchester City
Manchester City started their way in the tournament with the third round, in which they defeated Chelsea in London with a crushing score of 4-0. In the championship, the wards of Josep Guardiola are not doing as many expected before the start of the season. They are in second place, five points behind the leader and at the same time having one more game. For 20 games, the "citizens" have opened the opponents' gates 53 times, which is the best indicator among all teams. However, it is worth noting that Norwegian striker Erling Holann scored 25 goals.
Arsenal
Arsenal also started fighting in the tournament from the third round, in which they beat Oxford United (3-0) on the road with a crushing score. Mikael Arteta's players are doing incredibly well this season. The capital club is leading in the Premier League standings, ahead of City by five points, but at the same time having a game in reserve. During the 19 games he played, he suffered only one defeat and drew twice, while conceding 16 goals, less than only Newcastle.

Forecast
I think that the "citizens" are obliged to win in the upcoming match, because they need to rehabilitate themselves for the results in the Premier League, and a defeat for Arsenal in a principled duel can spoil the mood in the fight for the title in the Premier League. I propose to bet on the victory of Manchester City.
