Man City v Arsenal (Sat 12:45)
Man City have been superb at home this season as they won all seven games with some eye catching performances. All those wins have been by at least two clear goals and as well as averaging over four goals per game they’ve also conceded just twice. Arsenal, meanwhile, can point to a five point gap at the top and 10 wins in their last 12 away matches as proof of their chances in this match. However, they lost at the only top-six contender they’ve travelled to in that time (Man Utd) and in the previous four seasons their record away to top-four finishers makes for poor reading, W1-D1-L10.
In contrast City have won 6/8 home matches against top-five finishers in the past two seasons and have already thrashed Spurs, Man Utd and Everton at home this term. City look a great price to win this weekend but Arsenal might keep things closer than other sides have done, with their last 11 away defeats all coming by just one goal, and City can be backed to win by exactly one goal at 3.8.
While City’s home matches have averaged 4.42 goals per game this season we wouldn’t expect a repeat of the goal rushes seen against United and Spurs. Eight of Arsenal’s last 10 matches have had 2-3 goals while six of their last 10 away defeats have been 2-1 scores. Moreover, nine of their 12 trips to top-four finishers in the past four seasons finished with 2-3 goals.
Sergio Aguero has scored in 12 of his last 15 appearances in the Premier League and Champions League and since he joined City he’s netted in 20 of the 34 home games he’s started in the league. At 2.2 the Argentine striker looks well worth backing to find the net this Saturday.
