Arsenal had no trouble in their 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the weekend, but they are not going to stop there. Mikel Arteta's side are aiming to keep pace with leaders Liverpool and will be looking to adopt an attacking approach in the Premier League derby.

The good news for Arsenal is that key midfielder Martin Odegaard has recovered from a minor injury, but Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are still in the treatment room.

Meanwhile, Manchester City showed their worth in a 3-0 win over Manchester United. Pep Guardiola's side were sharp up front in the Manchester Derby and with Arsenal's attacking potential at the Emirates Stadium, and a goal-laden campaign, we believe there is value in backing both teams to score.

The likes of Mateo Kovacic, Kalvin Phillips, Omar Marmoush and Ryan Cherki will all miss out through injury, while John Stones faces a race against time to be fit for this high-profile clash.

Experts were consulted, each with their own opinion. Paul Merson predicted his former team Arsenal to win 3-1, Chris Sutton predicted Arsenal to win 1-0, Harry Redknapp predicted 2-1, while Mark Lawrenson chose a 1-1 draw.

Prediction: Arsenal - Manchester City 1-1
