Arsenal vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
In England, the next title will be awarded this Sunday, after the Community Shield played between champions and FA Cup winners at the start of the season. London’s Wembley Stadium faces the finals of the Carabao Cup, the League Cup, Arsenal and Manchester City. Arsenal won the Community Shield in August thanks to a win against champions Chelsea on penalties. The League Cup is mean, after the Community Shield, the second least important title for the top English teams. Nevertheless, of course, both teams will take the trophy home.
Arsenal :
Arsenal FC are only sixth in the Premier League, eight points behind the Champions League. Eleven game days before the end of the season, the Gunners will not be able to catch up. A second Champions League season without Arsenal in a row, but there must be no, because Arsenal is known to be still in the Europa League on the road and with a win of this competition, the Londoners in the coming season again in the premier class. This should now also be a priority target, given the enormous gap in the Premier League. The last sixteen has reached Arsenal recently. After 3-0 in the first leg at the Swedish representatives Östersunds, Arsenal was allowed in the second leg at home on Thursday a 1: 2 defeat. Arsenal had a free game last weekend, with the FA Cup in England dropping out of the Gunners blamabel by beating Nottingham Forest 2-4.
In the League Cup it got Arsenal in the tournament initially at home with the Doncaster Rovers from the fourth highest English league to do (1-0). This was followed by a close 2: 1 after extra time at home against Norwich City from the Championship and another 1-0 at home against West Ham. In the semifinals Arsenal made the progress in their own stadium clear. After the 0: 0 at Chelsea the Gunners could win the second leg in their own living room with 2: 1. Against the other top clubs in England Arsenal looked mostly pale this season: Against Liverpool there was a 0: 4 away and 3: 3 at home and against Manchester United a 1: 3 home defeat. Arsenal also lost 3-1 at Manchester City and Tottenham lost 2-0 two weeks ago. Only the first leg against the Spurs could win Arsenal at home. Against Chelsea there were two draws in the Premier League.
Manchester City:
That’s it with the perfect season for Manchester City! On Monday, the Citizens at Wigan Athletic flew out of League One, the third-highest English league, sensational out of the FA Cup! The final goal was 1-0 from Manchester City’s viewpoint, which decimated Fabian Delph’s red card in stoppage time in the first half, but still controlled the game completely. In the end, however, 83% (!) Possession and a 27: 4 chance ratio did not help, as cult kicker Will Grigg scored the only goal of the day for Wigan in the 79th minute. Manchester City lost to 2013 (final) and 2014 (quarter-finals) for the third consecutive FA Cup game against Wigan Athletic. Pep Guardiola proved to be a bad loser and sincerely congratulated the opponent, who “after all once shot at the goal”. Anyway: The first title of this season is gone! But there should be the Carabao Cup!
In the course of the tournament, Manchester City will face their opponents West Bromwich Albion (2: 1, away), Wolverhampton Wanderers (4-1 on penalties, home), Leicester City (5: 4 on penalties, away) and Bristol City from the Championship (2: 1, at home – 3: 2, away) by. Before the game at Wigan, Manchester City had won six of their last seven competitive matches – a draw. For two bankruptcies of the Skyblues in a row you would probably already roll the history books and Manchester City wants to prevent in any case, that there will be such a new entry in just those books. The League Cup is the first title that Man City wants to win this season. With 16 points clear in the Premier League, the championship is only a matter of time and Manchester City’s 4-0 win in the first leg of the knockout stages at FC Basel are at least as good as in the quarter-finals.
