Premier League Betting Preview: Ready for Arteta v Guardiola?
After a successful week in Europe for all six Premier League teams in action, attention turns back to the top flight with Sunday’s massive game at the Emirates the highlight.
Man City are the visitors to north London in the 16:30 kick-off. Victory for Pep Guardiola’s side would boost their title hopes while delivering a huge blow to Arsenal’s.
The weekend kicks off with Nottingham Forest v Brighton. Both sides lost last weekend, with Forest hammered 5-0 at Bournemouth. Who will bounce back?
Saturday also sees a huge game at the bottom of the table as Ipswich host Southampton. The round finishes on Monday with a London derby between Chelsea and West Ham.
