- Arsenal is a -0.5-goal home favorite against Man City.
- Each of Arsenal's last four EPL Sunday day matches have resulted in a draw.
- My Arsenal vs. Man City prediction is a lean to Manchester City.
It’s the preeminent match for EPL Matchday 24 as Arsenal hosts Manchester City.
Arsenal earned a 1-0 road win over Wolves last week, while City throttled Chelsea 3-1 at home. As it stands, Arsenal owns a six-point advantage over City in the league table.
The last time these sides met, City captured a late 2-2 draw after playing the entire second half up a man. Now, they’ll look for only their second road win against a top-half home side.

Arsenal vs. Man City Prediction
Based on Arsenal’s mispricing without key players and a historically profitable betting system, my Arsenal vs. Man City prediction is a lean to the Man City Spread (+0.5, -140).
It’s such a tempting number for Man City, but there’s one big concern with this team.
This marks City’s eight match against a team 10th or better in home expected goal differential. In the previous seven, they’ve earned only one win and three results.
But this number on Arsenal is a head-scratcher. On December 1, Liverpool closed at +105 on the three-way moneyline against Man City.
Under no circumstances are Arsenal, which is still without Bukayo Saka, an equal side to Liverpool.
So far this season, Liverpool own a +1.46 xGDiff per 90 and a +1.38 post-shot xGDiff per 90.
Arsenal, through 23 matches, owns a +0.75 xGDiff per 90 and a +0.83 post-shot xGDiff per 90.
History also likes this spot to back Man City to cover the spread and potentially capture an outright win.
Let’s start with the spread.
Half-goal dogs who posted a +2 or +3 margin in their previous game are 67-41 ATS, assuming the opponent’s previous game margin falls between +0 and +2.
Just over the last three years: 30-13 ATS.
As for the moneyline, the same dogs off a 2-3 goal win are 29-45 SU, assuming the favorite’s previous margin is +0 or +1.
Since 2020, those dogs are 16-22 against the three-way moneyline.
Pair those with the trends with the fact Kevin De Bruyne missed the last match and it’s City to cover the spread or nothing.
