Arsenal vs Man City betting tips: Goals galore at the Emirates as Guardiolas City look to return to winning ways

, Arsenal vs Man City betting tips: Goals galore at the Emirates as Guardiolas City look to return to winning ways

THE fixtures come thick and fast now as the Premier League enters a frantic winter period.

With European fixtures out the way, this is make or break time in the season and we’ve got betting selections from another packed schedule of top-flight action this weekend.

Ozil helped secure a big comeback win for the Gunners on Monday night

Arsenal vs Man City, Sunday 4.30pm

IT’S turning into a bit of procession at the top of the Premier League.

Just two weeks ago all the talk was Man City catching Liverpool – but now it seems only the Foxes can pounce if Klopp’s men blow it again.

City are left in an unfamiliar situation following their meek surrender in the Manchester derby.

Guardiola’s side have lost two of their last five and are a whopping 14 points off top-spot. In December.

All they can do from here is find that winning formula, try not to drop more silly points and hope Liverpool mess up.

This isn’t a fantastic time for them to be playing Arsenal, who shocked themselves out of a nine-game winless run against West Ham on Monday night.

Pepe hit his first goal from open play for the club on Monday

It looked like the same old story until Gabriel Martinelli opened the second-half floodgates at the London Stadium.

Nicolas Pepe finally looked like a footballer, whilst even Granit Xhaka was being ‘ole’d’ by the travelling fans at the end. A fortnight really is a long time in this game.

Do we back Arsenal to beat City at a baying Emirates with Ljungberg in the hot-seat? No. Even at a whopping 11/2.

Both of these sides have huge issues at the back.

The Gunners have a goal difference of ZERO going into this one – 24 scored, 24 conceded.

Whilst City have let in 19 goals this term already, which is more than Crystal Palace, Sheff Utd and Leicester.

In their title-winning campaign last season, Guardiola‘s side conceded just 23 in 38 games. I’ll say it again – it’s only December.

Basically, get your hard-earned on the goals market.

City have scored three or more in four of the last five meetings, winning all of those matches.

They’re an evens shot to do it again – that’s hard to turn down against this shambolic Gunners rearguard who are decimated with injuries on the flanks.

If you want to play it safe, a goal to be scored by either team in both halves is 2/5.

That’s something which has happened in Arsenal’s last six home games.

And as it’s Sunday afternoon, why not treat yourself to a daft one? Arsenal to score two or more in the second half – as they did against West Ham – is 9/2.

If they’re behind at half time, which is very much a possibility, it’s not as a rash as you might think.
