Manchester City vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting tips
Manchester City ran into the fourth league low of this season on Tuesday-evening. On Sunday evening the national champion receives a visit from Arsenal and with any other result than a home win, Manchester City can stop the title fight.
Manchester City:
Manchester City saw this week’s deficit on Liverpool be increased to four points. Where The Citizens suffered loss of points when they visited Newcastle United, Liverpool did not get any further than a 1-1 tie against Leicester City in their own home. Due to the loss of Liverpool, the title fight is not yet decided, but it is difficult for Manchester City to close a gap of five points. Especially as Manchester City no longer needs a league game against Liverpool, which wins almost all matches against the smaller teams from the Premier League. That is a different story at Manchester City.
The formation of Pep Guardiola still leaves points against teams that are not in the top six of the Premier League. For example, Manchester City lost in one month’s time from Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Tuesday night from Newcastle United. The Citizens seemed to have an easy evening at St. James’ Park after Sergio Agüero put the blues from Manchester within a minute’s lead. The Citizens held that lead for over an hour, but did not score themselves. Then, Guardiola’s team suddenly lost and goalkeeper Ederson had to cash in two more Newcastle United hits, including a penalty ten minutes before time. Manchester City did not manage to come back from the backlog and that’s why The Citizens lost points for the sixth time this season.
Arsenal:
Just like Manchester City, Arsenal is not in too good shape. The Gunners lost two of their last four games and the other two matches were won for the men of Unai Emery. Lost was the last weeks of West Ham United (1-0) and in the FA Cup of Manchester United (1-3). Especially the defeat at the Emirates Stadium against Manchester United was hard for Arsenal, which was eliminated early in the English Cup Tournament. The Gunners also lost West Ham United 1-0 three weeks ago, but that loss has had little effect on the ranking in the rankings. Arsenal is in fourth place at the time of writing and that is because Arsenal recently won 2-0 against Chelsea and because The Blues lost 4-0 to AFC Bournemouth on Wednesday-evening.
At Arsenal they won their midweek competition. Tuesday evening Cardiff City visited London and The Gunners were 2-1 too strong for The Bluebirds. The goals of Arsenal came in the name of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (penalty) and Alexandre Lacazette. The Gabonees has already made fifteen in the Premier League this season and seems to be a lot better at Emery than under Arsène Wenger. Visiting Manchester City, Aubameyang will also like to score again, but Arsenal is disappointing in the last few weeks at away games – The Gunners have not won their last five league games in the open air. Like many English top clubs, Arsenal was also reasonably calm on the transfer market. Only Denis Suárez has been taken over from FC Barcelona on a rental basis. Arsenal was also in the race for Ivan Perisic, Yannick Carrasco and Christopher Nkunku, but The Gunners did not manage to get these players in.
