Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal is one of the two undefeated teams in the Premier League, although it has fewer points compared to the start of the previous season, probably because the Champions League also requires concentration for the team led by Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners are coming from a 4-0 away win over Bournemouth, with goals from Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Ben White. The locals have the sixth-best offense in the league and have conceded only six goals, being the second-best defense.
However, we must say that in the important games at home, they suffer. Against Manchester United, they won by two goals in added time, and with Tottenham, they could only draw 2-2.
So far they have eight points at the Emirates Stadium, the result of two wins and two draws. The other team that took points from them was Fulham (2-2). The hopes to beat City lie with Saka, who so far has four goals and two assists, however, the English forward was injured in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to Lens in the Champions League, and the coach said it does not look good.
In addition, Brazilian striker Gabriel Martinelli will also miss the match with a muscle injury.
Why Bet on Manchester City?
Manchester City is one of the most important teams in the world and undoubtedly in the Premier League is the favorite to win everything, based on a great coach like Pep Guardiola and a squad full of stars.
However, in the last matchday, the Citizens lost 2-1 to Wolverhampton, making the goal scored by Argentine striker Julián Álvarez useless. This was the second defeat in a row for the reigning champions, as they had been defeated by Newcastle in the EFL Cup during the week.
Despite all this, Manchester City remains the leader in England with 18 points and has the best defense of the whole championship, with only five goals conceded. They also have Erling Haaland the best scorer in the Premier League, with eight goals.
A fact to take into account is that Guardiola’s team won both games last season against Arsenal, scoring a total of seven goals. They have not lost to this opponent in the Premier League since December 21, 2015.
The great news for the Citizens is that Bernardo Silva and John Stones, who recovered from their injuries, will be available. Rodri will have to serve his last suspension match and is a sensitive absence as evidenced against Wolves.
