Man City vs Arsenal preview
It’s a monumental clash in the Premier League, with neither side able to afford a defeat in the title race.
Manchester City are a point off joint leaders Arsenal and Liverpool – who play earlier in the day.
City are unbeaten in all competitions since defeat to Aston Villa back at the start of December, recently coming through tricky games with a win at home to Man Utd and draw away at Liverpool.
While the Gunners have been relentless since their early 2024 form to thrust them back into the title picture.
The only game they haven’t won in all comps since January 7 came at Porto, with nine other wins around that.
Team news will be interesting, with Bukayo Saka not involved for England and John Stones and Kyle Walker both hobbling off early in games with their own injuries.

Man City vs Arsenal betting tips
- Man City to win and over 3.5 goals at 4/1 – CLAIM HERE
City go into the game as favourites and that’s probably about right.
There’s goals in both of these teams and one or two question marks defensively which could well be exploited.
City have won 3-1 three times in their last seven home games and that score-line will likely prove popular with punters.
Many of these highly billed Premier League games end up being desperate watches but this should be a break from the norm.
- Rodri to be booked at 21/10 – CLAIM HERE
Rodri doesn’t pick up as many yellow cards now as you might expect, with his yellow at Anfield and one in January at St James’ the only two of 2024.
Having said that, they dominate the ball a lot so there’s not as many chances for him to spend a while without the ball.
Scored two for Spain in midweek but a good value price to be carded here with Arsenal’s threat both from attacking midfield and with pace on the counter attack.
- Phil Foden to score first at 7/1 – CLAIM HERE
Foden featured for 90 minutes in both games for England and thankfully for Pep Guardiola, coming through unscathed.
City’s star performer came up with the goods in Manchester derby earlier this month and no surprise to see him grab this game by the horns too.
