Arsenal vs. Manchester City picks and predictions
Prediction
Arsenal 2, Manchester City 2
Moneyline (ML)
SPRINKLE DRAW (+230).
Arsenal hasn’t lost at home, but it also hasn’t been overly dominant. It has drawn 2 of 4 league matches at Emirates, drawing Tottenham 2-2 and Fulham 2-2. It also drew Man City 1-1 on a neutral site in full-time in the FA Community Shield before the season. Both sides are among the best in the league and are familiar opponents.
With City having lost 2 of its last 3 in all competitions, it may be tough to go on the road and get a win, but its pace and quality should help it in this fixture. This should be a close, high-entertainment battle and there is some value on DRAW (+230).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 2.5 (-130).
Arsenal is averaging 2.14 goals per game and has scored 9 goals in 4 home matches, tallying at least 2 in all 4. City has scored 2 or more in 4 of its last 5 league matches and has scored at least 3 in 2 of its last 4.
Both games last season between these sides topped even 3.5 goals (3-1 and 4-1 wins for City).
