Arsenal vs Manchester City: Mario Balotelli Will Lead Blues to Victory

Mario Balotelli will be at his brilliant best as he leads his Manchester City squad to a much-needed victory over Arsenal. 

With the campaign running to a close and City staring up at the Red Devils, the Blues have no room for error. They are five points back with just seven matches left. 

With the mighty Manchester United in front of them, they will be best served to win out if they want a chance at picking up some EPL hardware. 

That means they can't afford a loss to Arsenal. They must travel into Emirates Stadium on Sunday and come out with a win. Balotelli will make sure this is exactly what happens. 

There is no doubting Balotelli's talent, but his focus is another question. It is easier to focus when the enormity of the situation demands it, and that is exactly the kind of situation his team finds itself in. . 

Mario has been flourishing under these circumstances. In his last EPL match, a 3-3 draw with Sunderland, he scored two goals. That has helped his total sit at four goals in his last seven matches.

He will add to that total in this match but it will be no easy task. Arsenal has been playing very well as of late. They are 6-1 in their last seven EPL matches. However, their last game was the one defeat, and the cracks in their defense resurfaced after a string of solid play.

They allowed two goals to the Queens Park Rangers in a 2-1 defeat. Balotelli will get two goals himself in this match, and City will prevail 3-2.
