Manchester City vs Arsenal Predictions

• Manchester City have won eight of their last ten home games.
• Nico O’Reilly has scored six goals in his last ten starts, including two against Arsenal.

Title race hangs in the balance at the Etihad

Manchester City are hoping to extend their winning streak when they host Arsenal on Sunday, and the Etihad Stadium could witness a huge shift in momentum in the Premier League title race.

Pep Guardiola’s side come into this tie six points adrift of the Gunners, but they are on a three-game winning streak, which started when they beat Arsenal 2-0 at Wembley to win the EFL Cup.

That is one of three defeats from Arsenal’s last five games, with Mikel Arteta’s only success in this period being a narrow 1-0 win at Sporting in the Champions League.

This includes defeats to Bournemouth and Southampton, while Manchester City have won eight of their last ten home fixtures, with the latest being a 4-0 demolition of Liverpool in the FA Cup.

O’Reilly can shift momentum for Citizens

With momentum on their side, backing Manchester City to keep the title race interesting appeals and, with them scoring twice or more in nine of their last ten home games and Arsenal only scoring three goals in their last five, a repeat of last month’s 2-0 scoreline looks good value.

Anytime goalscorer punters may find value in backing the in-form Nico O’Reilly to continue his purple patch in front of goal. The Manchester City youngster scored both goals in the League Cup final and has six goals in his last ten starts for the club.
