Arsenal will be seeking its second FA Cup under Mikel Arteta, while Manchester City will bid to secure their first FA Cup in four years. With at least one semi-final appearance in five of the last seven seasons, Pep Guardiola’s side has an impressive record in cup competitions.
The odds of City winning this match are 8/11 with Betfred, while Arsenal is 16/5, and a draw is 11/4. It will be only the sixth meeting between the two sides, with Arsenal having won four of their head-to-head contests, while City has only won one.
A heavyweight clash is expected as Arteta’s side currently sits five points ahead of the Premier League holder at the top of the table and competes for a place in the next round of the domestic cup competition against the two best-performing teams in the country. Guardiola’s former assistant has only lost one game against his opponents since moving to the Emirates Stadium, and it came in the FA Cup.
Tonight’s FA Cup match could serve as a preview of the fights which will determine the title race ahead of City’s crucial doubleheader.

With FIFA 23, Arsenal is predicted to show great character to come back from a goal behind to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup against Man City. Arteta’s substitutes made a big difference in the simulation, alongside Turner’s impressive performances between the sticks.
Guardiola and Arteta could benefit Man City if they adjust, because the Premier League champions have a competitive squad depth advantage over the challengers. It may be best for Arteta to wait until Premier League matches to reveal his true tactical hand, which should also benefit City. Man City 2-1 Arsenal
