Manchester City v Arsenal Tip
City have a remarkable +27 goal difference at the Etihad where they have won every league game and look close to unstoppable.
Saturday lunchtime promises to provide us with one of the matches of the season when league leaders Arsenal head to the Etihad where Manchester City will defend a 100% record.
The Gunners have already come unstuck at Old Trafford in 2013-14 but a trip to face United’s neighbours ought to be even more daunting. City have turned their ground into a fortress (W7 D0 L0) having scored 29 times in front of their owns, conceding only twice in the process.
It’s therefore no surprise to find Pellegrini’s men priced up as 17/20 (BetVictor) favourites for this one, but we can improve our value by taking City to win, but with both teams scoring, at best odds of 13/5 with Ladbrokes.
Arsenal have only been shutout once in their last 20 league matches going back to April, so they surely will go down fighting if they are to suffer a setback.
