Recent Form
Arsenal came from behind to score two goals during the final 15 minutes in Liege midweek and earn them selves a draw and top spot in their group.
However, in truth, first place should have been snaffled up sooner than it was considering the level of opposition, while they were reliant upon rock-bottom Vitoria Guimaraes beating Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany on Thursday.
That said, they can now turn their attention to domestic action until February at least, starting with a visit of the champions on Sunday.
Man City/Man City HT/FT
Pep Guardiola’s side haven’t been as cut throat as they’ve shown to be over the last two seasons, as rivals Liverpool seem to be swiftly running away with the title.
However, their record against the Gunners will give them a confidence boost as they’ve won five of six unbeaten league meetings under Guardiola, winning this fixture 2-0 and 3-0 in the past two seasons, and with the way Arsenal are playing it’s hard to envisage a different outcome here.
The Citizens have even had W/W double results in each of the last four meetings, as well as in their League Cup final meeting back in February 2018.
Given Arsenal have conceded first in each of their past four outings in all competitions, the half-time/full-time market also holds some value.
Man City To Win And Both Teams To Score
What’s more, City won 16 of their 20 matches against the ‘Big Six’ in the two seasons prior to this, though they are just W1-D1-L2 against such sides in the current campaign, as well as losing to sixth-placed Wolves as the fear factor they’ve held is beginning to fade.
However, we can’t see past the Sky Blues on this occasion when factoring in Arsenal’s current woes, winning just one of their last 11 matches in all competitions, though we’ll have to couple the outright at such a short price.
The visitors are still without key centre-back Aymeric Laporte as Guardiola is yet to find the right formula for his defence.
They’ve now conceded in each of their last 10 matches across all competitions as the manager persists with a makeshift defence including defensive midfielder Fernandinho.
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s greatest asset at the moment is their forward line, with Gabriel Martinelli proving clinical enough this season to ease Alexandre Lacazette out of the side.
Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has 13 goals to his name already this season for his club, while Nicolas Pepe is beginning to find his feet having scored against West Ham in his last appearance, so the both teams to score market looks well worth coupling up with.
