Wenger’s patient Arsenal to prevail against Mackay’s spirited Cardiff

Arsenal are sweeping all before them at present however Cardiff are no pushovers and it may not be until the second half that the table-toppers can master Malky Mackay’s side.

Cardiff have been level at half-time in seven of their last eight Premier League matches and the Draw/Arsenal bet makes plenty of appeal at 10/3.

Alternatively the 6/5 about the game being level at half-time is another one for punters to consider very carefully.

Arsenal currently top the standings due to a combination of factors.

Their midfield has more bite to it since the re-acquisition of Mathieu Flamini however the form of Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil is the key.

Both are providing a piercing quality to the Gunners’ build-up play and with Jack Wilshire starting to benefit from more minutes on the pitch, it is a scary triumvirate for teams to face.

Whilst Ramsey has scored 11 goals in all competitions – including six away from home – Olivier Giroud has been the main goal-threat for Arsenal.

The French centre-forward has seven league goals to his name and is 5/4 to score at anytime, but the better bet looks to be Jack Wilshire.

Wenger rates him very highly and the young Englishman scored two in the Champions League midweek and the 11/2 about him hitting the target again is appealing.

Across the team-sheets, Frazier Campbell has only scored three goals in the Premier League this season; however they have come against Man Utd and Man City.

Both games were at the Cardiff City Stadium and the former Manchester United player – who Cardiff signed from Sunderland for just £650,000 – looked in fine form last weekend.

As well as scoring, he hit the bar with an exquisite chip, and his price of 8/1 doesn’t accurately reflect his form at present.
