Arsenal - Manchester City: Tips, prognosis & odds - 01.01.2022 - ENGLAND: Premier League
 
 
 
Top game in the Premier League: Arsenal start the new year against ManCity
 
The first Premier League game in the new year is a real hit. Defending champions Manchester City will face the revitalized Gunners away from home. After some disappointing years, Arsenal have a realistic chance of a top 4 place in the table this year. After 4 wins in a row and thanks to an outstanding home record, they occupy 4th place in the table. With a full 12 points more on the account, the guests from Manchester are at the top of the table. They were last able to achieve a total of 10 wins in a row. At the moment the team looks unbeatable and could take a big lead in second place.

Manchester City has the chance to extend the table lead with a win. They all won the last 10 games. But now they face the 2nd strongest home team in the league. Arsenal have not suffered a defeat in 8 home games. A Gunners win would still be a bit of a surprise.

Two of the currently strongest teams in the English Premier League meet for an interesting and tasty New Year's brunch. Arsenal receive Manchester City and, according to quotas, are treated as a clear underdog. The current frontrunner's role as favorites can certainly be discussed, after all, the Gunners recently celebrated four wins in a row and scored an impressive 14 goals at the same time.

In addition, this time on the sidelines there will not be a duel between teacher and apprentice, Guardiola against Arteta, as the former Pep assistant tested positive and therefore has to follow the encounter from home. This makes it absolutely understandable why a successful forecast for the Sky Blues between Arsenal and Manchester City is considered to be much more likely.

 Arsenal - stats & current form
 
At Arsenal Football Club there is currently jubilation, excitement and cheerfulness. After a few years of sadness and sporting mediocrity, it seems as if coach Mikel Arteta has finally managed to form a team that on the one hand lives up to its own high standards, but on the other hand embodies the club's typical DNA. The capital club is causing a sensation in the Premier League this season with a number of young talents.

Of the 19 games played so far, the Gunners were able to make eleven victorious. Most recently they even celebrated four successes in a row, in which keeper Ramsdale only had to reach behind him once, but hit the offensive around the youngsters Smith-Rowe, Saka or Martinelli 14 times (!). Arsenal won their most recent match at Norwich City 5-0, before the originally scheduled encounter against Wolverhampton had to be canceled two days later due to several positive cases at their opponents.

Strong form and outstanding home record
 
Arsenal have already won 11 games this season. Due to only 2 draws, however, 6 defeats were also conceded. After 4 wins in a row, the goal difference can slowly be seen as it stands at 32:23 hits. The goal difference from the last 4 games is 14: 1 hits. It is currently the longest winning streak this season and probably also the strongest phase.

Is Arsenal finally annoying a "big one”?
 
On New Year's Day, the fourth place in the table will now have to end the series of defeats against the Citizens, which has now lasted nine Premier League games. The Londoners are primarily building on the strong home record in the current season (seven wins, one draw, one bankruptcy), which is currently enough for second place in the separate home table. In addition, the statistics that the gunners lost only one of the last ten games on the first day of the new year serve as a source of encouragement for what is probably the toughest home game of the year.

During the season, for example, there were defeats against Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and in the first leg against Manchester City. Three of these four bankruptcies came about with at least two goals difference, which is why we can well imagine giving a tip on the handicap victory of the guests between Arsenal and Manchester City on Saturday. Kolasinac is still injured, Aubameyang no longer plays a role for disciplinary reasons and with Chambers, Tomiyasu, Soares or Maitland-Niles, the Gunners also have some positive cases in their ranks. The most serious factor, however, is probably the absence of their leader - coach Arteta.

The team collected most of their points at the Emirates Stadium at home. In 9 games they collected 21 points and the balance sheet stands at 7 wins, one draw and one defeat. Especially defensively, you present yourself very well at home. Only 6 goals against is the best in the league. 17 hits, however, is not outstanding. After all, they always managed to mark at least one goal in the last 8 home games. Fourth time in a row they also did not concede.

 Manchester City stats & current form
 
Manchester City is undoubtedly the measure of all things on the island at the moment. While the toughest rivals Chelsea and Liverpool recently gave up, the Citizens continue to march from victory to victory. The defending champion has now won ten Premier League games in a row. Interesting: Whenever the Citizens made ten consecutive PL games victorious, game number eleven was won! A good omen for New Years Day?

In addition, City won the maximum of twelve points from the last four away games at the Emirates Stadium. Even more impressive: Looking back on the last five appearances at the Gunners, the Guardiola-Elf always scored a goal in the first quarter of an hour. For this reason, among other things, it can be considered to make a prediction between Arsenal and Manchester City for double the HT2 / FT2 result. We would also not rule out a handicap success for the front runner.

Since the upcoming opponent from London could not score in any of the last five direct duels against the Citizens, it is also conceivable to bet on another "to zero" victory for the Guardiola-Elf. For the twelfth success with Clean Sheet, the tested bookmaker ADMIRALBET beckons a surprisingly high 2.75 at the top. In terms of personnel, there are one or two question marks, but City has so far been spared major pandemic-related problems.

Expected formation of Manchester City:
 
Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Ake; B Silva, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Foden, Sterling
 
Arsenal and ManCity in direct comparison
 
The statistics in the last direct duels speak clearly for Manchester City. The Citiziens could all win the last 4 clashes. They also won 11 of the last 12 duels. Arsenal was only able to prevail in the FA Cup in 2020. In the league, Arsenal haven't even managed to score in their last 4 home games. Nevertheless, 5 of the last 8 duels ended with more than 2.5 goals.

Manchester City - is the defending champion finally leaving?
 
The success story of Pep Guardiola and Manchester City seems to go on and on. 3 of his previous 5 seasons he led the team to the championship title. This year they are well on their way to winning the 4th championship in the last 6 years. After 10 wins in a row, they took second place in the table with an 8 point lead. In the top game against Arsenal, they are now hoping for victory number 11.

Betting base forecast & Arsenal - Manchester City tip
 
Admittedly, such a scenario is relatively unlikely, because the young Gunners have not yet torn a lot against the top teams in the league in the course of the season so far. The first leg against the Citizens, for example, was lost 5-0 (!). There were also high defeats against Chelsea or Liverpool, which is why we do not necessarily assume that the gunners will leave something countable in the capital this time. And that although the Gunners have recently won four times in a row in the Premier League.

This outstanding series is also outbid by the Sky Blues. The Citizens have already won ten consecutive league games. In addition, the Guardiola-Elf has the best away team and has also won the last nine direct duels (!) Against the upcoming opponent.
