Watford legend Troy Deeney has shared his prediction for Arsenal’s upcoming Premier League clash with Manchester City.
The Gunners will host City at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, following a 2-0 midweek Champions League victory over Athletic Club. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s side also picked up a 2-0 win, defeating Napoli at the Etihad.
Speaking on The Football Exchange, Deeney initially backed City to edge the game but went back and forth before settling on his final prediction.
“I’m going for a 2-1 Man City. No, actually, I want to flip that—I want to go 2-1 to Arsenal,” Deeney said.
“My logic is that I can see City struggling with set-pieces, but I can’t call this because now they have a keeper like Donnarumma. The midfield is probably a bit better.
“Do you know what? I’m going back to the original—2-1 to Man City!”
