Bet of the day

• Arsenal sit a point ahead of Manchester City in Premier League table
• Gunners unbeaten in four games against the Sky Blues
• Olivier Giroud has struck in his last two outings against City
• The Frenchman has 16 goals for club and country this season

Giroud 9/2 to strike in Gunners triumph

Monday night football will witness a truly mesmerising Premier League match-up as two of the title contenders Arsenal and Manchester City collide, and Coral’s bet of the day is Olivier Giroud to score in a Gunners home win at 7/2 (£20 max stake).

It’s Leicester City who incredibly lead the top-flight standings during the Christmas holidays but, with the Foxes expected to tail off at some stage in the near future, this clash at the Emirates could go a long way to deciding the 2016 champions.

Arsene Wenger’s north Londoners currently hold second position in the table, five points adrift of Leicester and a game in hand, while Man City are a single point below the Gunners in third place.

Gunners hold impressive recent fixture record

Arsenal will enter this latest league encounter with Manuel Pellegrini’s Sky Blues with plenty of confidence and no fear at all, having not tasted defeat at the hands of their Manchester rivals since December 2013.
