Manchester City vs Arsenal: Predictions and Betting Tips

Manchester City 

After losing their league opener to Tottenham, City got their revenge, invoking a 5-0 thrashing on Norwich.

This might be a crucial week in the transfer market for City as Harry Kane could be joining the team, although negotiations between the two clubs currently appear to be at a standstill.

Arsenal

The situation is going from bad to worse for Arsenal, as they followed up their loss in the season opener with a second loss in the London derby to Chelsea.

Martin Odegaard’s arrival as a free agent for 40 million euros, a player who was on loan last season from Real Madrid, should inspire Arsenal and offer them some creativity, which has been noticeably lacking of late.

Arsenal have lost nine of their last ten meetings with City.

Key Stats:

• Three wins and two defeats for City in their last five games
• City have scored 13 goals in their last five games
• City have only conceded three goals in their last five games
• Four consecutive defeats for Arsenal 
• Three consecutive matches without scoring for Arsenal

Manchester City vs Arsenal Predictions

The divergent paths the two teams have taken in recent seasons is shocking. City continue to strengthen an already-solid squad with players like Jack Grealish and the potential arrival of Harry Kane. Arsenal, meanwhile, have players who continue to struggle and even the new-signings cannot turn things around. We don’t think Arsenal have much chance of winning this match, and see City as clear favourites to take all three points.
