It’s the top-of-the-table clash in the Premier League this Wednesday as league leaders Arsenal take on defending champions Manchester City.
The Gunners come into this tie just three points ahead of City with a game in hand, so there is a chance that Pep Guardiola’s side will overtake them here if they drop points. That makes this tie a must-win for Mikel Arteta’s title chasers.
However, they come into this tie in dire form, having not won in three competitive games (D1, L2). Although their last game saw a VAR error. Arteta will hope the conditions are okay in this game as he attempts to beat his mentor.

Guardiola is the only manager Arteta has failed to beat in the PL (L5), and City have also emerged victorious the last ten times these clubs have faced each other in this competition. So, the Catalan coach will feel confident here.
Yet his team’s run of three losses in the last seven games (W4) shows that things can go wrong for them if they lose focus.
With three clean sheets in the last five meetings between both sides, we can expect a low-scoring affair when both teams meet. However, given the league position of both teams and the magnitude of this game, we can expect a cagey affair. So a bet of under 2.5 goals could be the best prediction for this game.
