Manchester City vs Arsenal – Ahead of the match, both sides still hold the keys to the championship. Despite having two games in hand for the defending champions, the Gunners lead the league standings by a margin of five points.
Given the easier schedule for the Citizens in their final seven games, a loss today to Arsenal would severely complicate their championship defence.
With a 3-0 thrashing of Championship team Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday afternoon, Pep Guardiola’s team maintained their excellent run.

At the weekend, Riyad Mahrez was given the start on the right flank and made the most of it by scoring all three goals for his team.
The Citizens are currently in the FA Cup final and the semifinal of the UEFA Champions League, and they have eleven victories and a tie in their previous twelve games overall.
Following yet another disappointing draw, Arsenal won’t be going into the match on the same note. On Friday, the Gunners played just a 3-3 draw at home against the dreadful Southampton, narrowly avoiding a loss.
Mikel Arteta may be concerned about the carelessness of his team’s backline without William Saliba.
In their last three league games, Arsenal have given up at least two goals, and they have gone six games without a clean sheet in all competitions.
Manchester City vs Arsenal – Betting Analysis
In the last ten years, Manchester City have dominated this contest. They will enter this with confidence having defeated the Gunners seven times in a row.
The run includes the Citizens’ recent 1-3 victory at Emirates Stadium earlier this season. In three of the previous four head-to-head meetings between these rivals, three goals or more were scored.
Recently, Manchester City have been scoring goals like crazy, and we think that tonight [Wednesday], their scorching offensive line will be too much for Arsenal’s porous and out-of-shape defence.
