Arsenal v Manchester City – Sunday, 4.30pm
Punters can bet on Arsenal v Manchester City with William Hill
- Arsenal have already lost a bit of ground on the early leaders Liverpool having suffered a 1-0 defeat at Anfield before the International break but Mikel Arteta’s side have bounced back with victories against Nottingham Forest and most recently Athletic Club in the UEFA Champions League.
- After struggling for years against Manchester City, the Gunners have had the better in this fixture over recent years, having not lost to City since April 2023 and even beating Pep Guardiola’s side 5-1 here in February.
- Mikel Arteta’s side have the chance to make it back-to-back league victories against Man City for the first time since 2015, the Gunners will be looking to put in another solid defensive display having conceded just one goal in their first five games in all competitions this season.
——————————– - Manchester City lost two of their first three games in the Premier League this season but have since bounced back with victories against Manchester United last weekend and Napoli in the UEFA Champions League on Thursday evening, albeit with a man advantage for the majority of that game.
- However, Pep Guardiola’s side have lost five of their last seven league games immediately after a Champions League game, including that 5-1 defeat here back in February and another defeat here could potentially see City already fall nine points behind Liverpool if results go against them.
- Despite Arsenal’s strong defensive record, Manchester City actually have the highest expected goals (8.5) after the first four games of this new campaign, meaning they should create chances here and possible nick a goal.
Prediction: Each Team At Least 1 Card In Each Half, Arsenal 2-1 Manchester City
