Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Manchester City vs. Arsenal at EPL
The English Premier League title race comes down to this. The two top favorites and the only ones left standings, Man City and Arsenal, clash on Tuesday night at the Etihad Stadium. Before this round, the hosts had a deficit over Arsenal, but the Citizens played fewer games. The math is easy here, if Guardiola’s team wins, they’ll cut down the minus and have a chance to jump over the Gunners with points from their postponed events. Arsenal, of course, doesn’t want that to happen.
Manchester City
Guardiola and his machinery found a perfect rhythm at the perfect time, which is why they look so dominant in the previous few weeks. We simply need to mention that City plays the best football in Europe, suffering the last loss in early February.
They eliminated Bayern Munich without any problems in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, being better in both events, and outplaying the German powerhouse in every aspect of play.
Regarding their home performances, there aren’t better teams in Europe than them at the moment. Manchester City has 11 straight victories and hasn’t lost in the previous 13 appearances at the Etihad – 12 victories and a draw.
Arsenal
The Gunners began wandering lately. Their draws at Anfield and the London Stadium were extremely frustrating for both the fans and the players. In each event, Arsenal had a two-goal lead, but failed to protect it. The final results were 2-2, which is why they lost the edge in the title race over City.
The first half an hour in both events was magical for the Gunners, who destroyed the rivals. Yet as time went by, Arteta’s team not only lost focus but was physically deflated, and for instance, they luckily saved that one point against the Reds.
Arsenal is the best team away from home in this Premiership campaign, winning 11 of its 16 games, losing two, and posting three ties. They have the best attack with 32 goals scored and the best defense with 13 conceded.
Manchester City: Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Ake; Stones, Rodri; Silva, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Grealish; Haaland
Arsenal: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Thomas, Odegaard; Martinelli, Jesus, Saka
Manchester City was more than confident at the Emirates, beating the hosts 1-3 in their first meeting of the year. That was the seventh consecutive win they had over Arsenal, who lost the previous six defeats at the Etihad Stadium.
City’s form is on the rise, while on the other side, Arsenal is showing signs of weakness. Even if this isn’t the case, we would still go with the hosts’ victory because of the tradition and their power. After measuring all, and when counting City’s previous win over Arsenal, they are a better team and should win Tuesday’s contest.
Our verdict: Manchester City wins
