Gabriel Jesus determined to score against Man City

The away team, already without Kevin de Bruyne, cannot welcome Rodri back as he has not yet served his three-match ban.

Man City are also very vulnerable at this time, having lost 2 of their last 3 outings, all of which were away matches. Those were also Man City's first 2 defeats this season, if not counting the stumble against... Arsenal in the Community Shield.

The most anticipated match at the Emirates Stadium is probably the match between the two most effective strikers on English football fields. If Erling Haaland, after two consecutive rounds of "silence", is expected to "fire" again against his favorite opponent Arsenal, then on the home team's side, Gabriel Jesus is the weapon expected to "activate" when facing his old team.

Gabriel Jesus always makes the young coach satisfied with his attitude and determination every time he plays. The problem is that the Brazilian striker has only scored once in the Premier League this season, too little compared to the expectations for a target striker, even though he is surrounded by excellent "midfielders", such as Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice...

Therefore, many experts advise coach Arteta to bring in a "killer" striker who can score more than 20 goals/season to take advantage of opportunities and compete fairly with Man City. The problem is that strikers like Haaland are rare and if available, they will be very expensive.

Last season, Arsenal was 8 points ahead of Man City but ran out of steam in the final stages, losing the championship to Guardiola's team.

Overall, the Gunners' form since the beginning of the season has been quite stable and this can help the home team play fairly against the unpredictable destruction of Man City. Let's see if the Emirates team can learn from their experiences to end their 12-match losing streak against this opponent in the Premier League.
