Arsenal vs. Manchester City 1/1/22 Premier League Soccer Pick, Predictions, Odds

Arsenal and Manchester City face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Emirates Stadium. When these two teams faced off at the end of August it was Manchester City that won 5-0. 

Manchester City currently sits in 1st place in the standings having picked up 50 points.  Manchester City has a nice cushion right now for first place, and they have been quite impressive the last few games. In three of the last four games Manchester City has scored at least four goals, and in two of the games they scored at least six. Manchester City has scored 51 goals and their defense has given up 12 goals. Bernardo Silva has been the top player for Manchester City scoring seven goals and adding an assist. There are five different players who have scored at least five goals total. Raheem Sterling has also scored seven goals and added another assist. 

On the other side of this matchup is Arsenal who sit in 4th place in the standings having picked up 35 points. Arsenal got out to a slow start to the season, but they have been playing a whole lot better as of late. In the last game against Norwich City the offense was elite, scoring five goals and that was enough to come away with the easy victory. Arsenal has scored 32 goals total while their defense has given up 23 goals total. Emile Smith-Rowe has been the top player for Arsenal scoring eight goals and adding two assists. Bukayo Saka has also scored five goals and added another four assists. 

This game is going to be a high scoring game by both teams. Arsenal is going to score a couple of goals and I see Manchester City scoring three or four. Look for this game to go well over the total. Looking at the value we are going to take the over 4.5.
