Arsenal legend Cesc Fabregas has made a huge prediction ahead of the Gunners showdown against Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend.
Cesc Fabregas is confident Arsenal can pull off a massive win over Manchester City this weekend, potentially shifting the title race dynamics.
The Gunners, chasing their first league crown since 2004, head to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to face the reigning champions.

"I'm going for 2-1 to Arsenal," he said on the Planet Premier League podcast. "There will be goals. I'm pretty sure there will be goals."
Last season's corresponding fixture ended goalless, but Fabregas expects a different outcome this time.
"It's always been a very 50-50 game," he explained. "They respect each other, know all their weaknesses and strengths.
The game plans of both teams are so good that it makes it a very even game, sometimes with not a lot of chances. But yeah, I'm looking forward to it."
