Sutton knows Manchester City had a 35-match unbeaten streak in England snapped by Man United in the FA Cup final and that they'll be looking to avenge that loss. The Citizens have also lost three of their four preseason friendlies but are still expected to be title contenders again after winning the Premier League the last four years in a row and six of the past seven seasons. They are listed as +110 favorites to win a fifth title in a row while Arsenal is listed at +190 after the narrow defeat last season.

It was their third win in a row to close out what had been an otherwise disappointing season on a positive note. However, they've lost three of their five preseason friendlies and will be without striker Rasmus Hojlund until September after he suffered a hamstring injury against Arsenal during an American tour last month.
