Our Tipster’s Angle

Manchester City has been in exceptional form in recent weeks. It looks like it would be a similar story for them this week as they will be confident to grab all three against an extremely inconsistent Arsenal side.

Tip 1: Manchester City To Win

Manchester City has bounced back brilliantly after their disappointing league campaign last season. Manchester City can’t seem to lose as they have won all their last ten encounters in the league. Manchester City has dominated Arsenal in their previous encounters at Emirates as they have won three out of the five matches, drawn one, and lost only one. Arsenal would dread the return of De Bruyne who scored two goals in their previous match when City beat Arsenal 3-0 convincingly. So it looks likely that the away side might come out victorious at 1.52 odds available in the Casumo sportsbook.

Tip 2: Total Goals Over 2.5

Arsenal have scored over 2.5 goals in four out of six Premier League matches. Even Manchester City have had over 2.5 goals in four of the last six Premier League matches. It has been a high-scoring encounter in their previous duels as well. Five out of six head-to-head matches between the two sides have resulted in over 2.5 goals. Hence there is every chance that there would be more than 2.5 goals scored in this fixture at 1.75 odds available in Casumo sportsbook.

Conclusion

Arsenal would have to be at their best to get anything out of this game which would help them gain some momentum to push for the European places. Man City on the other hand will be sky high on confidence and would not want any slip-ups on their charge for the title. Summarizing a couple of bets mentioned above

1. Manchester City To Win @ 1.52
2. Total goals Over 2.5 @ 1.75
