Mysterious cat predicts Man City vs Arsenal

As seen in a video shared on Instagram by Nimbus Pronos, the cat has shared its prediction for the highly anticipated match in the Premier League.

The cat favours a draw for the match, drawing its meal from the bowl in the middle, which was labelled “draw” and ignoring the bowls for the teams.

The match also ended 1-1 in the first leg when Gabriel Martinelli’s 93rd minute strike cancelled out Erling Haaland’s ninth minute goal at the Emirates Stadium.

Another draw at the Etihad Stadium would favour the Gunners as it would retain their advantage heading into the final five matches of the season.

Arteta's comments ahead of City

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hit back at the claims that a draw could be enough for the Gunners, claiming that they are going into the match to win.

“We’re not going to spend one second talking about that. We prepare every game to win, that's where we are, and we're going to continue to do the same,” he said as quoted by Arsenal.com.

Arteta acknowledged that mentality will play a huge role in the match and confirmed that Arsenal have improved in that regard, but must show it.

“I think it's a big part of that. I mean, everything plays a part in a match. Technique as well, obviously, because without that there is nothing,” he added.
“But there is obviously a huge part to play in that sense, and we have improved a lot in that area. We will have to show it on Sunday again, that's for sure.”

City and Arsenal still have other competitions to play. Pep Guardiola’s side has the FA Cup, while Mikel Arteta’s side has the Champions League.

Guardiola sends message to Arsenal
