Arsenal v Man City

Arsenal vs Manchester City Preview

Arsenal will return to the Emirates Stadium for this mouthwatering clash against Manchester City on the back of a 1-0 win away from home at Wolves and also able to call upon the services of midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly after his red card was overturned in the week.

Manchester City stretched their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six games overall with a 3-1 home win against Chelsea which also became Pep Guardiola's side's fourth win within this period as The Citizens look to further strengthen their position in the top four pack with a result here this Sunday.

Arsenal still find themselves six points behind the Premier League leaders, Liverpool, but at least The Gunners possess the same margin over their upcoming visitors Manchester City ahead of this tussle in the nation's capital on Sunday afternoon.

The north London club also still remain unbeaten on home soil at the Emirates Stadium having picked up seven wins and four draws to date which includes collecting notable wins against the likes of Nottingham Forest, Manchester United and arch-rivals, Tottenham respectively.

The wider picture shows Arsenal have suffered just the single defeat from their previous 20 home games in the English top flight including picking up 15 wins in the process, so The Gunners will fancy their chances this Sunday.

Manchester City seem to have rekindled their earlier form at the start of this current campaign in recent weeks as Pep Guardiola's side bring a useful looking six-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming encounter in the nation's capital on Sunday afternoon.

Recent wins against Leicester City, West Ham, Ipswich Town and Chelsea have not only helped Manchester City back into contention for a Champions League spot again for next season but the manner of their victories have also been impressive.

The visitors have scored a total of 18 goals within these last six matches overall at an average of three goals per game whilst conceding just five goals in return, making this upcoming battle at the Emirates Stadium a potential blockbuster in the race for a top four finish and possibly also the title race as well.

Manchester City's slump in form and results was well documented but recent results seem to suggest that Pep's side are returning to the sort of form which we have all become accustomed to and Arsenal will have to be on their toes here this Sunday despite holding home advantage.

Arsenal v Manchester City Verdict

The goals market may be the best option for this upcoming clash though as three out of the last four meetings have produced low-scoring affairs and indeed Under 2.5 goals, and this eye-catching fixture may well be decided by just a single goal, perhaps in favour of Manchester City.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 2.00

Other side bets worth considering:

Manchester City win @ 3.50

Correct Score: Manchester City 1-0 @ 13.00
