Arsenal vs Man City Betting Tips, Correct Score Prediction and Best Bet Builder Picks

Arsenal are odds-on favourites going into Sunday’s Premier League clash with fellow title hopefuls Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s side can be backed at 3/1 with the best football betting sites, while the draw is priced at 29/10.

Those odds are likely influenced by what happened the last time these two teams met at the Emirates Stadium. That was in February when Arsenal stormed to a 5-1 victory.

Arsenal vs Man City betting tips

Arsenal head into Sunday’s clash in slightly better form than City. The Gunners have won four and lost one of their first five games in all competitions this season, while City have won three and lost two.

But you cannot mention form without talking about Erling Haaland, who looks close to unplayable right now.

Haaland — who broke a Champions League record by scoring his 50th goal in only his 49th appearance in the competition on Thursday — has netted four goals in his last three City appearances.

That tally increases to 10 in his last five games when you factor in the international break, during which he scored five in Norway’s 11-1 win over Moldova.

Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres is the 9/2 favourite in the First Goalscorer market but Haaland at 6/1 looks much more tempting. Haaland to score anytime at 9/5 jumps out even more.

Arsenal have kept four clean sheets in their last five games, but they have not yet faced Haaland this season — and the Norwegian scored against them home and away last term.

Meanwhile, 20/21 on Man City/Draw in the Double Chance market feels like value. Yes, Arsenal thrashed City in February, but was that an anomaly? Previous results suggest it may well have been.

In the last 25 meetings between these two sides — including that outlier — the Gunners have only won three.

Arsenal vs Man City: Correct Score prediction

Based on the odds, bookmakers see the most likely results as a 1-1 draw (7/1), 1-0 Arsenal (8/1), 2-1 Arsenal (17/2) and 2-0 Arsenal (9/1).

We also think 1-1 is realistic, especially as this fixture has been cagey in recent years. Three of the last five meetings between these clubs have produced under 2.5 goals.

Arsenal vs Man City team news

Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday that Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Ben White would be assessed in Arsenal’s final training session at the weekend. All three missed the midweek Champions League win in Bilbao but could return if they come through fitness checks.

William Saliba is available again after returning to the bench in Spain, though Arteta must decide whether to restore him or continue with Cristhian Mosquera, who has impressed in recent weeks. Gyokeres and Mikel Merino are also clear to play after suffering minor head knocks against Athletic.

However, Arsenal remain without long-term absentees Kai Havertz (knee) and Gabriel Jesus (ACL).

For Manchester City, John Stones is pushing to return after missing the last two matches, while Rayan Ait-Nouri is also close to a comeback.

But Rayan Cherki (thigh), Omar Marmoush (knee), Mateo Kovacic (Achilles) and Kalvin Phillips (Achilles) are still sidelined.
