Manchester City vs Arsenal Under/Over Pick: Under 2½ (-114)
With the likes of Bukayo Saka and Erling Haaland set to feature for both sides, it’s tempting to go with a shootout, but I’m backing this one to be a fairly even-handed chess match. Arsenal have proven to be one of the stingiest defensive units in Europe this season, and they are more than capable of nullifying City’s attack and controlling the fixture out of possession. We’re backing them to manage this game well and secure another low-scoring result in our soccer picks and parlays.
Manchester City vs Arsenal Player Prop Pick: Kai Havertz to Score (+375)
If one player is capable of scoring at the Etihad, it’s Kai Havertz. Three years since registering the sole goal of the Champions League Final to deny Manchester City of a maiden triumph and spur Chelsea to victory, Havertz finds himself in sensational form for the league leaders. He has scored four goals and two assists in his last four league matches, and after finding the back of the net in Germany’s 2-0 friendly win vs. France, he’s going to be riding high on confidence going into this potential title decider.
Make sure you check the official starting lineup before placing your soccer player props.
Manchester City vs Arsenal Game Prop Pick: Double Chance: Arsenal or draw (-110)
Whilst City pose a formidable threat at home and boast a litany of world-class forwards, they haven’t set the world alight in the goal-scoring department in recent weeks and could have a tough time going up against a disciplined, organized unit that has proven instrumental in the Gunners’ title challenge. Over the past month, they’ve been held to one goal vs. Chelsea, Brentford, Bournemouth and Liverpool, and they could struggle against Arsenal’s defense. The odds may be in City’s favor, but I’m backing Arsenal to pick up a low-scoring result and stretch their unbeaten streak to nine in the Premier League in my soccer betting predictions.
