Big Game – £10 on 7/9 at bwin
Arsenal V Manchester City (Sunday 16.00) – Arsenal to win [draw-no-bet]
Assuming Manchester United beat Queens Park Rangers at Old Trafford earlier in the day, which they will, Manchester City will walk out at the Emirates Stadium eight points behind their rivals and feeling dejected.
Until last weekend’s sloppy 3-3 draw with Sunderland, City had been imperious at home. However, their away form has been far from breathtaking.
Roberto Mancini’s men have dropped 20 points in their 15 away Premier League games this season and have not won in their last three on the road in all competitions.
City are not prolific scorers on their travels. The last time they netted more than once in the league away from the Etihad Stadium was 11 games ago on November 5.
Arsenal, meanwhile are in excellent shape at home, winning their last six matches in North London comprehensively and averaging 3.83 goals-per-game in the process.
