Alan Shearer and Harry Redknapp disagree on Arsenal vs Man City score prediction

Arsenalwill be hoping for a repeat of last season when Manchester City visit Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Gunners thrashed Pep Guardiola'sside 5-1 in February, with Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri getting on the scoresheet. Mikel Arteta will be hoping for more of the same as the north Londoners looks to make it four wins from five in the Premier League.

Manchester City, meanwhile, have endured an inconsistent start to the 2025/26 season. Guardiola's team have won two and lost two of their opening four games and could kick-start their season with a win against Arsenal.

Harry Redknapp believes Arteta's squad will come out victorious, though. Speaking to football betting site BetVictor, the former Tottenham boss predicted a 2-1 win.

"It’s been a great week for Arsenal; they look back to their best," Redknapp said. "Going to Bilbao and winning is never easy, but they did just that. That’s the perfect start to their campaign and they’ll be bang-up for this one.

"As for City, they cruised to the win over Napoli, but they did face 10 men. It was hardly a classic but a decent win nonetheless. I’m interested if the fact City played on Thursday and Arsenal on Tuesday will have any impact. I just think Arsenal might edge this, but it’s so hard to call."

Asked for his one to watch, Redknapp added: "There’s been so much discussion about Gyokeres, and how he’ll play in these big games. He didn’t do much away to Liverpool but he could be the difference in this one."

Alan Shearer believes the game will be much tighter, however, and predicts a draw. Speaking to Betfair, the former striker said: "Arsenal were impressive last weekend and had a great win in the Champions League. These games are always incredibly tight, so I'll go for a draw. A draw that will suit Liverpool already so early in the season."
