Arsenal vs Manchester City Picks: Moneyline and Game Prop

1. Moneyline: Manchester City (+255)

According to the latest Premier League news, Pep Guardiola is going through a divorce, which has affected him and the team. However, the Citizens are starting to turn things around, especially after signing several rising stars during the winter transfer market.

The Citizens defeated Club Brugge 3-1 midweek and qualified for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 playoffs. That result allowed them to regain confidence, especially Savinho and Mateo Kovacic, who scored one goal each.

They also won their previous EPL game 3-1 against a much more difficult foe in Chelsea. The Citizens came from behind after conceding only three minutes into the game. Erling Haaland and Phil Foden led the way in the second half.

The match against the Blues also served as Adbuqodir Husanov and Omar Marmoush’s debut. Can you imagine an attacking duo of Haaland and Marmoush? Well, only a team like Manchester City can make it possible. So far, Haaland has scored 18 goals in the EPL, while Marmoush scored 15 in the Bundesliga while playing for Frankfurt.

Of course, I expect a good fight from Arsenal. First, the Gunners haven’t lost at home in the EPL. Second, the Gunners own the best defensive unit in the league after conceding 21 goals in 23 games, per Arsenal vs Man City stats.

The problem is that the Gunners visited Girona midweek, which means the Citizens have a physical advantage after getting more rest. Also, Arsenal has only won one of the previous 10 meetings with City.

Finally, you won’t often see Manchester City offering a +255 price in the EPL betting lines. It’s one of those deals you must take before it’s too late.

2. Game Prop: Both Teams to Score in the Match (-150)

Manchester City is fourth in the EPL standings, but the Citizens are the second-best scoring team in the league with 47 goals in 23 games. Only Liverpool, the team atop the standings, has scored more with 54.

Haaland leads the way with 18 goals while Foden has scored seven. You should also keep an eye on Savinho, Marmoush, and Bernardo Silva in EPL player prop bets.

As for the Gunners, they’ve scored 44 goals in 23 games. Kai Havertz is the team’s top scorer with eight goals while Gabriel Martinelli has six.

Bukayo Saka is out due to injury, but Arsenal’s attacking unit also includes Raheem Sterling and Leandro Trossard. That makes both teams to score (yes at -150) another great deal you must include in your Premier League picks.

My final score prediction is 2-1 in favor of Manchester City.

Bet This Pick: Both Teams to Score in the Match – Yes (-150)
