In recent seasons, the two clubs have battled fiercely for the Premier League crown, with City emerging victorious on both occasions.

However, Arsenal will be looking to change that narrative this season, starting with their crucial clash at the Etihad.

Mikel Arteta’s side heads into the match with momentum, having won the North London derby against Spurs last weekend and followed it up with a draw in their Champions League opener against Atalanta.

Previewing the game, Shearer predicted a tightly contested encounter between the two title contenders.

“If you offered Arsenal the option to go to the Etihad and get a point like they did last year, they’d snap your hands off. They don’t need to go there and win,” Shearer told Betfair (via Mirror).

“Arsenal are great at defending and I do believe they’ve got the best back four in the Premier League as a unit, with their organisation and with the protection that they get from in-front too.

He added: “I am going for a draw in this one. It’s a long week with both teams having played in the Champions League as well, so a draw for both teams isn’t a bad result, even though Man City are at home.”
