Manchester City v Arsenal – Match Preview and Betting Tips

Betting Tips | Article posted on March 10th, 2025

Introduction

Manchester City had the best possible preparation for this crucial fixture with Arsenal, in a scarcely believable game at Bayern Munich. Having gone two goals down in 12 minutes, and having been routed already by Bayern this season, City incredibly turned the game around against the European champions to win 3-2. With David Silva back in the fold, they will be at full strength for this game, and this will undoubtedly be the toughest test in the league for the Gunners so far this season.

Winner

Arsenal have played with great gusto and verve away from home this season, and have a tremendous away record over the last year. However, City can be lethal at home, and with Silva back, I just fancy them to have the better of this one, and come out on top narrowly.

My tip: Manchester City win
Best odds: 18/19 with Bet365

Correct Score

Both teams are well capable of scoring here, and City’s defence hasn’t inspired confidence recently. Thus, I think Arsenal will score in this game, but that City’s forward firepower will win the day for the home side.

First Goalscorer

The Argentine striker Sergio Aguero was rested in mid-week in order to ensure that he is ready for this one, and I think he will respond by opening the scoring in this top of the table clash.
