They are unbeaten in 14 home matches but have drawn their last three games against the current top seven. City have won seven for their last nine away matches, and 15 of 18 home and away. Furthermore, they have won half their 10 trips to top-six finishers in the previous two seasons and this term have won two of three matches at the current top seven. With Arsenal suffering with a number of injuries <strong>the away side look a touch of value at 2.1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal\u2019s last nine home games against top-six teams have all had fewer than three goals and the Gunners have been unconvincing in attack in recent times. While they\u2019ve been rolled over at Chelsea and Liverpool in recent weeks they should be much stronger here and we are likely to see a cautious game. Nine of their last 11 home games have had fewer than three goals and after earlier hammerings this season at City (3-6) and Liverpool (1-5) they\u2019ve had nil-nils in their following home games. At the same time that Arsenal have been struggling for goals City have been improving defensively. They\u2019ve kept five consecutive clean sheets and this fixture has had fewer than three goals in each of the last five seasons. <strong>Under 2.5 Goals look excellent value at 2.15 while a goalless opening half is a tempting 3.45.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.5em;\">Player Analysis:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Using Form Lab Black\u2019s player analysis tool we look at a three significant players who will be missing this weekend and see what their absence might mean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>N.B. Appearances mentioned below relate to starting and completing an hour unless otherwise specified.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WBA v Cardiff<\/strong><br \/>\nJonas Olsson, Defender, WBA<\/p>\n<p>Since 2011\/12 Olsson has missed 11 games for West Brom and without him they are yet to win. Furthermore, they\u2019ve conceded first in all 11 games, going on to lose eight times, including at Hull last weekend. <strong>Cardiff have lost eight consecutive away matches but if you fancy them to get a shock win they are a juicy 4.65<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Torino v Cagliari<\/strong><br \/>\nCiro Immobile, Forward, Torino<\/p>\n<p>Immobile has scored seven times in his nine home games this season as Torino have won five times and five of the matches have had at least three goals. However, in the six home games he\u2019s missed they\u2019ve won only once and the last four have had just four match goals in total. <strong>Cagliari are also without one of their regular forwards and Under 2.5 Goals can be backed at 1.70.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Athletic Bilbao v Atletico Madrid<\/strong><br \/>\nAnder Herrera, Midfielder, Athletic Bilbao<\/p>\n<p>Herrera has missed just 17 of 68 Athletic games since the start of last season and they\u2019ve conceded 41% more goals per game in those matches than when he\u2019s been playing. <strong>With that in mind Over 2.5 Goals could be a decent bet at 2.10.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.telegraph.co.uk\/multimedia\/archive\/02188\/arsenal-city_2188593b.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"388\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_9721\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"9721\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=betangel\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These stats are\u00a0brought to your by our friends over at\u00a0Football Form Labs.
