Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Man City and Arsenal supporters may have some reason for celebration ahead as their sides go head-to-head, with our prediction of both teams to score looking a far stronger pick than any bet on the outright winner. The two sides have goals in them, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookmakers odds are not finding real separation between the sides, a sign of the qualities (or lack of) each side possesses. Both teams to score is our top tip.

Goal Statistics

Arsenal have been steady in front of goal of late, scoring in 7 consecutive English Premier League matches. Their PG of 1.7 against Manchester City on Sunday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

Arsenal's defensive record is to be admired, Mikel Arteta's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive English Premier League outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Manchester City makes sense in this context.
