Title chasers Arsenal, Man City look to get back on track

Title-chasing Arsenal and Manchester City will be aiming to get their respective title push back on track this weekend when Arsenal hosts Everton at the Emirates, then Man City and Man United slug it out in the Manchester derby on Sunday.

Event # 1 – EPL– Arsenal vs Everton– 2:45 PM

Arsenal will host struggling Everton tomorrow, Saturday, aiming to get back on track, having faltered in their last league game, after being held to a 1-1 draw by a stubborn Fulham side. At home, Arsenal have been particularly unstoppable, remaining unbeaten with five wins and two draws, and this fortress-like mentality displayed at the Emirates has been crucial to their title aspirations and will undoubtedly play a huge role in this game against an Everton side that hasn’t had any success at the Emirates in recent times. However, before Arsenal host Everton, they have a midweek match against Monaco in the Champions League to take care of, which means that they might head into the League game with less time to recover compared to their upcoming opponents.

Meanwhile, Everton put on one of their best displays in recent memory last weekend when they blew away Wolves 4-0 in a dominant display that hasn’t been witnessed on Merseyside in recent memory. The victory over Wolves pushed Everton up to 15th place in the table, but with 14 points from 14 games, Everton have won just three games, had five draws, and suffered six losses, which shows a side struggling for consistency and form. Indeed, their away form is particularly concerning, with just one win, two draws, and four defeats on their travels. This type of away form could prove costly against an Arsenal side that has been imperious at home.

 

Key Stats

• Arsenal – Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 15 home matches in all competitions and have won their last four home games.

 

• Everton – Everton head into this game having failed to score in four of their last five away matches.

 

• Both sides – Arsenal have won four of their last five head-to-head clashes with Everton and have scored at least two goals in three of those wins.

 

The betting Tip.Arsenal Win.

Event # EPL – Man City vs Man United– 12:00 PM

The Premier League is set to witness another thrilling Manchester derby as Manchester City host Manchester United in a highly anticipated super Sunday showdown. With Manchester City’s impressive home form and Manchester United’s struggles on the road, fans could be treated to a humdinger of a game. However, the current City side isn’t the same as of previous years as they have struggled for form so far this season, to find themselves fourth in the standing, eight points behind leaders Liverpool having played a game more than the leaders. Having set an unwanted record of going seven games without a win, a first for Coach Pep Guardiola in his illustrious career, City will be happy to be playing the derby on home soil as they have been largely unbeaten at the Etihad, winning five, drawing one, and losing one of their last seven home games. This impressive home record will undoubtedly boost their confidence heading into the derby after their recent loss of form.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils, Manchester United, find themselves in unfamiliar territory, languishing in 13th place in the table with 19 points from their 14 matches so far. Indeed, their record of five wins, four draws, and five defeats, along with 17 goals scored and 15 conceded, paints a picture of inconsistency that has plagued them so far this season. United’s away form has been particularly concerning for fans, with just one win, three draws, and three defeats on their travels so far — a run that won’t drive much fear in a City team looking to return to form and get their title challenge back on track. This poor away record on the road will be a significant worry for the recently appointed Coach Ruben Amorim, who will be experiencing his first Manchester derby at the Etihad. Worryingly for United, they enter this match having suffered a disappointing 3-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Key Stats

• Man City Man City have won eight of their last 15 home Premier League matches and won both games against United last season (3-1 at home and 3-0 away).

 

• Man United – Manchester United are winless in their last seven away matches in all competitions.

 

• Both sides – Manchester City are unbeaten at the Etihad in their last three meetings against Manchester United; in their last five meetings City have won four, United one.

 

The betting Tip.Draw.
