Manchester City vs Arsenal LIVE streaming: How to watch Premier League match live?

Manchester City will take on Arsenal in the Premier League at 5 PM IST on Saturday, August 28, in what is essentially being considered a lop-sided match at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. City didn't have the greatest of starts to their Premier League season having lost their first game 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspurs. However, they regained their momentum against Norwich City as they beat the latter 5-0. Arsenal also did not start their league campaign in the way they would have wanted as they lost to newly-promoted side Brentford 2-0 and their woes continued as they lost the northwest London derby to Chelsea 2-0.

Manchester City vs Arsenal prediction and preview

Arsenal arrives into the game on the back of some poor performances even in their preseason matches, having lost to Tottenham Hotspurs and also having lost their first two fixtures of the Premier League this season. Mikel Arteta is in the middle of a rebuilding job and will be hoping to turn things around as soon as possible as the pressure is building upon him. They did however manage to win a match finally when they beat West Brom 6-0 in the second round of the EFL Cup. Misfiring striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang managed to score a hattrick and Nicolas Pepe, Bukayo Saka, and Alexandre Lacazette also managed to get their names on the scoresheet.

Manchester City did get off to a slow start but Pep Guardiola's men were unfazed and they thrashed Norwich 5-0 after their opening game defeat to Tottenham. Their new signing Jack Grealish managed to get on to the score sheet for the first time in a City jersey and a promising performance from Gabriel Jesus might just be what Pep needed.

Based on their form and the way the teams are stacked it looks like Manchester City should come out on top in this match.
