O English Championship will have a real final this Wednesday worth the leadership of the competition. Manchester City e Arsenal they will have a duel between leader and runner-up that is worth a possible advantage at the top of the table. Despite both teams having good seasons, the numbers may indicate a favorite for the match.
In second place, with 70 points, City has been on a great streak since the end of the World Cup in Qatar. According to data from the Sofascorethe current champions have gone 15 games without losing, managing to score 11 straight victories.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are on the opposite path. Despite having started the championship well, the team has lost its intensity and comes from three straight draws in the last rounds of the English, with seven goals conceded.

Who can benefit from Arsenal’s defensive weakness is center forward Erling Haaland. The Norwegian is the top scorer in the Premier League, with 32 goals, and could become the top scorer in a single edition if he scores twice in the game.
The recent record of duels between the two rivals is also favorable for the Manchester club. In the last 15 matches, there were 14 wins for City and only one for Arsenal. The London team hasn’t won the showdown since July 2020, when they passed Pep Guardiola’s men in the FA Cup semi-finals.
If they win Wednesday’s match, City will still need to win at least one of their two games in arrears to take top spot. Arsenal, on the other hand, will secure their place at the top of the standings if they get the three points. The clash will take place at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Etihad Stadium, in Manchester.
