Speaking on The Kelly and Wrighty Show, Ian Wright has been discussing Arsenal’s game against Manchester City this week with his son, Shaun Wright-Phillips.

This is a bit of a rivalry within the Wright household as Wright-Phillips is an ex-Manchester City player while his dad is an Arsenal legend.

As you may imagine, these two have differing opinions on how this game may go.

Wright believes that Arsenal will come out 3-2 winners, while the former City star reckons that his side will win 2-1.

Wright predicts the result

The pundits gave their view on how this game will go.

“What do you think? Because I think we’re going to beat you,” Wright said.

“My prediction right now is that we win 2-1, but it will be close. It will be end-to-end, but I think we will have a bit more,” Wright-Phillips said.

“It’s the kind of game where I believe we can score a couple of goals and I think City can score a couple of goals too. So I’m going to go with 3-2,” Wright concluded.

Tough one

This is a match that is incredibly hard to predict between two of the best teams in the country.

Arsenal have had a bit of a wobble as of late, failing to win any of their last three games, while City looked back to their best against Aston Villa.

However, as the league table shows, the Gunners have, by-and-large, been better than City this season, and they have every chance of getting a huge win at home.

3-2 is a fair prediction from Wright and there certainly could be a few goals in this game.
