Former Manchester City winger Andrei Kanchelskis believes Arsenal are capable of winning tomorrow's huge game.

City go to Arsenal tomorrow top of the table.

Kanchelskis said: Man City are favourites, but not by far, would say 55 to 45.

"(Pep) Guardiola is still an awkward opponent for (Mikel) Arteta, but that has to end at some point. Perhaps they have some kind of jitters.

"Arsenal has been losing for ten years: it seems close to victory, and then bam - that's it. Maybe some kind of curse or psychology. But there is such a trend. Because last season Arsenal led the championship for a long time, but then began to lose points, as a result, Manchester City once again became the champion.

"Bukayo Saka, if he misses the match against Manchester City, it will be a serious problem for Arsenal. He is one of the team's key attacking midfielders. But there should be stability in the team; they have many promising players. I hope Arsenal has recovered from the losses and the game will be as bright as last season."
