It was no mean feat for Arsenal to record a victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium considering that this was achieved without the suspended Declan Rice and the injured Martin Odegaard. They could both return to the starting line-up for this difficult assignment at the Etihad Stadium when facing a Manchester City team who have few faults.
Both sides will have had Champions League engagements ahead of this crunch clash, with Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta likely to rotate their players for the European matches although we know that both teams will be at full strength here. It’s City who are warm favourites but they couldn’t beat Arsenal home or away last term.
We’ve seen Erling Haaland score in all four EPL matches thus far, finding the net at Stamford Bridge before notching consecutive hat-tricks against Ipswich and West Ham. He came close to another three-timer against Brentford although he will now look to get the better of crack central defensive duo Gabriel and William Saliba.
The draw has to be a lively runner and could well be worth backing, with the Gunners looking to land a victory which would give them the upper hand in the battle to win the title. We think a low-scoring clash might be on the cards, with the Under 2.5 Goals quote available at an attractive price.
