Pundit and Newcastle United Legend, Alan Shearer, has said Manchester City will ensure their game against Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday ends in a draw.
He made the prediction on Friday while analysing week five English Premier League (EPL) fixtures on BetFair.
This weekend kicks off with the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield.
Later on Saturday, west London outfit Chelsea travels to out-of-sorts Manchester United.
Mikel Arteta and his players will then welcome Manchester City in Sunday’s big clash.

Speaking about the outcomes of the encounters, Shearer said just like the Arsenal vs Man City fixture, Chelsea will earn a draw against Man United at Old Trafford.
He, however, predicted that English Premier League (EPL) Champions, Liverpool will edge past local rivals, Everton.
Shearer said: “Liverpool v Everton – Tough one to call but Liverpool at Anfield, won four from four in the league without playing well and Isak made his debut on Wednesday in the Champions League, so I’ll go for a home win. Prediction – Liverpool win.
“Man Utd vs Chelsea – Chelsea playing a tough game in the Champions League could help them, so I’ll go for a draw. Prediction – Draw.
“Arsenal vs Man City – 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. Prediction – Draw.”
