Manchester City vs. Arsenal: Preview and betting tips

A huge duel awaits us on Wednesday night at 9 pm. An early Premier League final between first placed Arsenal and second placed Manchester City could give a lot of clues as to who will come close to the title.

Arsenal have been at the top of the table for almost the whole season and it seemed for a long time that they would finally go for the title after several years.

But so far April has not been going well for Mikel Arteta’s charges. The Gunners first beat Leeds, but then three draws deprived them of the privileged position at the top of the table, which they now no longer have in their own hands.

The Citizens are still 5 points behind the second place, but they have two games to play and if they manage both of them, they will replace Arsenal at the top of the table.

Arsenal first squandered a 2:0 lead at Anfield and only drew 2:2 with Liverpool, experienced an identical scenario with West Ham and last time with Southampton had to tighten from 1:3 to at least 3:3.

It is Manchester City who are sovereign in the Premier League. In the last five games, it has beaten Leicester, Southampton, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Newcastle with an aggregate score of 13::2.

Kevin De Bruyne opened the February game at the Emirates Stadium with a goal, and Bukayo Saka equalised before half-time. But in the second half, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland scored for the Citizens.

Manchester City are the clear favourites at home. Arsenal haven’t won eight games in a row on their pitch since 2015. Only once has it managed to draw, otherwise it has always lost.

Considering how Arsenal has slowed down and Manchester City is on the contrary, one can expect the Citizens to confirm their home quality and form and take the all-important match.
