The top two in the English Premier League meet on Wednesday evening. Leaders Arsenal host Manchester City and after the weekend now have a three point lead with a game in hand. A win for City will see them go back to the top of the Premier League on goal difference. The big gap has closed at the top of the table with City closing in on the Gunners. Will we see new league leaders on Wednesday?
It's the visitors who are the favourites to win this top-of-the-table clash. They are generally available at 2.25 with the Gunners 2.9 to get a home win. If you want to bet on a draw, the odds are 3.6. Mahrez continues to be in good form for City and he's 4.5 to get on the scoresheet on Wednesday. Erling Haaland has odds of 2.05 to score but will he even play?

Arsenal - Manchester City: Form Analysis
Arsenal come into this game having gone three matches without a win. They lost at Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round, lost at Everton and then only drew at home with Brentford on Saturday. Just one goal has been scored in those three games and that's compared to eight in the previous three. Arsenal are yet to lose a home league game this season. Eight of their ten at the Emirates have been won but two of the last three have ended level. 13 home league matches have been played since their last home defeat in the Premier League. That was to Brighton last April and new signing Leandro Trossard scored for the Seagulls in that game.
Manchester City make their second visit to North London this month, hoping it'll go better than the 1-0 loss at Tottenham on February 5. They bounced back from that defeat with a 3-1 home win over Aston Villa on Sunday. City have lost their last two away Premier League games, having also been beaten at Manchester United. The last time they lost three in a row in the top flight was in 2020. City have only won five of their ten away Premier League matches this season and lost three, the other being at Liverpool. They do consistently score in away league fixtures though and only failed in two of the last 14.

Arsenal & Manchester City Squad Analysis
These are words that no Manchester City fan ever wants to read. Erling Haaland is a slight doubt for this game against Arsenal. He has gone three games without scoring since his hat-trick against Wolves last month but of course City will want him fit for this match. The Gunners may be tempted to put Trossard in the starting line-up after he scored his first goal for the club against Brentford on Saturday. There are no fresh injury worries for Arsenal.
Arsenal - Manchester City Key Points
Arsenal have gone three games without a win.
Arsenal have only scored one goal in their last three matches.
Manchester City have won three of their last four league games.
Manchester City have won 13 of their last 14 games against the Gunners.
Arsenal last won a home league game against Manchester City in 2015.
Arsenal could lose the leadership of the Premier League on Wednesday. They seem to have slightly gone off the boil and it's now one point from their last two league games. Goals have dried up of late with only one scored in the last three games. They remain strong at home and it's possible Trossard might be given a full debut here. Manchester City have a great record against Arsenal and a second win of the year against them will see them back on top of the Premier League. They have lost their last two away league games though, making it three league losses for the season and could be without Haaland. Our Arsenal v Manchester City prediction is for a double chance bet on City to win or draw this game.
Arsenal vs Manchester City - Other Interesting Predictions
Manchester City to win
This might just be the right time for Manchester City to face Arsenal. Their away form is a slight worry but Arsenal don't seem to be quite the team that they were a few weeks ago.
Both teams to score
Both of these teams have shown some weakness at the back. Both teams have scored in seven of the last ten City league games and have one clean sheet in their last four away league matches. Arsenal have conceded in four of the last five games.
