Man City to blast sorry Gunners

The trouble in north London has not gone unnoticed at Coral, and our football guys seem eager to take them on again here, with those who fancy a play on the home win getting a chunky 2/1 with us. A nice price, made all the sweeter by the fact Arsenal haven’t lost a home match vs City in over four years.

Those who like to keep the stats close will be interested to learn that French striker Olivier Giroud has scored three goals in the last four renewals of this fixture, and he can be backed at 5/1 to net first on Sunday, or 5/4 in the anytime market.

Man City take heart from the results

Manager Pep Guardiola can take plenty from his side’s recent form, an unbeaten run stretching back seven games, including wins over West Ham, Bournemouth and Sunderland, all without conceding a goal. The visitors will be encouraged by how recent results have gone against their opponents too, losing four of their last five, including a pitiful 3-1 reverse to West Brom last time.

There’s no chance of The Citizens winning the league, that ship has long since sailed, but they do have hope of claiming a silver medal finish, with Spurs just two points ahead. An injury to Petr Cech, meaning he misses Sunday, will do nothing but encourage the visitors, and they have been marked up at 13/10 to get the verdict. A real slice of value, given the form.

Fancy Man City to hike up the heat on Wenger? Why not take both teams to score in an away day? Our traders will reward you with a tasty 13/5 if it comes good. Pep win and over 2.5 goals is a 21/10 poke.
