'I'm going for 2-1' - Cesc Fabregas makes bold prediction for Man City vs Arsenal

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.

Mikel Arteta's men have enjoyed a strong start, collecting 10 points from 12 and defeating Tottenham with a depleted squad last weekend.

Manchester City, however, remains unbeaten, fueling hopes for a fifth consecutive Premier League title.

Fabregas, now managing Italian side Como, predicts a thrilling encounter.

"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."
