I actually meant the rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester City for the Premier League title in the recent years. Not the next game between them. But still thanks to you I remembered they were going to have a face-to-face in the league in only 2 days.  Grin

Manchester City won against Club Brugge by 3-1 and made it to playoffs. But when it comes to their performance, it was a poor one. At least in the first half. They don't look convincing to do great things against big teams there.

Here is the odds for the upcoming game. I wouldn't bet on any side to win. I would probably prefer BTTS & over 2.5 goals @2.07 for this one. It has become a popular bet option of mine recently for this kind of games.  Smiley

How about over 1.5 because these two teams just like drawing games with one or zero goals. Their last encounter wasn't too pleasant as we saw so many dramatic decisions, and a late equalizer from Manchester city. The Arsenal team were quite ferious about the game, which I believe is going to be an extra motivation for them. I will be expecting more dramas and even some fight, as I believe both sides lost respect for each in the last game.

 But the only problem for Arsenal is their lack of attacking options. I am not sure if Kai Havertz can put on a top performance against Manchester city, and considering the fact that they're very good in playing their opponents in an offside position. Havertz might just be a one man advantage to Manchester City on Sunday.

And for a game like this, It won't make any sense if the FA appoints Michael Oliver as the match official. Too many controversies whenever Oliver officiates Arsenal games, especially their encounter against City. Maybe Anthony Taylor will be best considering how tough he can be on any side.
