Manchester City and Arsenal head into their potential Premier League title decider both on long unbeaten runs but with momentum undeniably favouring City.
Arsenal are on a run of three dramatic draws in succession with big questions being asked over being able to handle their nerves as the run in looms large.
The Gunners and their five-point advantage may easier fall by the way side given City have two games in hand on the league leaders. Two games in hand are crucial at this stage of the season and there are no easy games as we head towards the finish line.
Manchester City, of course, are hoping that Arsenal will continue to slip up and drop precious points however, the blue half of Manchester have to face some tough opponents, taking on Chelsea, Brighton and Everton away.
Pep Guardiola’s side may also struggle with fatigue and focus as they remain in three competitions whereas the Arteta’s men are only in one.
Let us not forget, Man City face a two-legged clash against Champions League giants Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals and also meet fierce local rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final on June 3rd at Wembley.
Here are the latest odds:
Manchester City -165
Arsenal +420
Haaland
The Golden Boot is safely in the hands of Manchester City’s 6’4 Norwegian who has left the majority of rival soccer fans terrified at how he has set this season on fire, the soccer playing freak of nature is difficult to not swoon at for even the most hardcore anti-City fan.
Can he deliver another one of his blistering performances tonight to cement his place in club history along with the umpteen other records he’s broken in his first Premier League season?
Martinelli
Ex Manchester City defender Micah Richards has this week labelled Arsenal midfielder Gabriel Martinelli as “frightening”.
Martinelli has managed to maintain his excellent form despite Arsenal’s drop-off in recent weeks which has seen them draw three consecutive games and surrender the momentum in a fascinating title race.
The Brazil international’s is tipped to offer one of Arsenal’s best chances of beating City’s notorious high press and securing a victory.
As it stands Manchester City are hot favourites to walk away with the three points and one foot in the trophy listing champagne bar in a few weeks but what are your thoughts?
