Premier League on Sky Sports: Arsenal vs Manchester City betting preview and tips
Super Sunday delivers a headline clash this weekend as Arsenal welcome Manchester City to the Emirates.
It’s Mikel Arteta versus his old boss Pep Guardiola in a meeting of two sides tipped to challenge defending champions Liverpool for the title.
Both teams have made strong starts and this showdown feels like an early test of their credentials.
Here, Sports New Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of a blockbuster.
The tale so far
Arsenal have taken nine points from 12 so far, with their only stumble coming at Anfield via a late Dominik Szoboszlai free kick.
At home, they’ve been flawless – eight goals scored, none conceded – and will back themselves to keep that record going.
City’s start has been patchier, with two defeats bookended by victories, but a thumping win in the Manchester derby has steadied the ship somewhat.
That performance hinted at a return to form for Guardiola's charges after last season’s drop-off.
Both clubs come into this one after midweek Champions League openers, which could influence team sheets and gameplay.
With early momentum, bragging rights, and maybe even top spot on the line, it’s all set up for a cracker in north London.
Best bets
Arsenal to win
Arsenal have been strong at home this season and come into this clash with a good recent record against City to boot.
They’ll also enjoy a slight advantage in preparation, having had two extra days to recover after City’s midweek European efforts.
Viktor Gyökeres to score
Since arriving from Sporting Lisbon this summer, the Swedish forward has been flawless for the Gunners, quickly becoming a fan favourite.
He’s netted three goals so far – admittedly all at home – and should extend that run here.
Arsenal to have over 3.5 corners
This pick has appeared in three of Arsenal’s four Premier League games this season, reflecting a strong recent trend and a vital aspect of their style.
That reliability makes it a confident choice for your bet.
