In the UK, EPL broadcaster Sky Sports is known to go somewhat OTT in their marketing, calling "Super Sunday" basically any gameday that has a couple of decent matchups. But this week at least, the moniker has been earned. With 4 of the top 5 playing each other, the repercussions on the league could be huge, especially with an international break looming. Now the actual impact on the title race does require some suspension of disbelief, what with City playing lights out these days and all, but Arsenal have won 5 of their last 6 and exhibiting some dynamism they will need against the almighty Citizens. As interesting as that first game may be, United at Chelsea looks the more tantalizing prospect, with Chelsea close to real trouble and United uninspired but sputtering along. At the beginning of the season the premise that Antonio Conte's job was in jeopardy seemed like a joke, but after being spanked at Roma, a loss at home could well push the feisty Italian out. And if we know one thing this week, it's that Mourinho would love nothing more than to go back to Stamford Bridge to inflict humiliation on his old club (all the while protesting that he intends no such thing)

I do think they'll be up for it, similar to what they were at chelsea several weeks back.
I honestly don't think this will go the way of what happened at Anfield earlier this year. I actually expect Ozil/lacazette/alexis to play very well on Sunday.
That said, a 3-1 or 4-2 defeat is likely, one where arsenal really, really tries, but just doesn't have the personnel OR the tactics to match City.
The question afterwards is whether that kind of result will be demoralizing enough to send the year into a tailspin

Even first half but Chelsea just has more creative quality since our team simply doesn't work witout Pogba.
And again, I never want to see that pussy Mhkitaryan play again. A baby's breath would knock him over. Figure out how to play Martial Rashford and Lukaku together.
