With all eyes falling on north London this weekend, Arsenal will welcome Manchester City to the Emirates for what is a heavyweight Premier League showdown.

Desperate to get their hands on a first domestic crown since 2004, the Gunners will be dreaming of the chance to make a major title statement on home soil and Mikel Arteta’s men will be excited an a dominant record record against their potential title foes.

While Man City might have entered September’s international break in the midst of a public rut, the Sky Blues have come roaring back in some style and they have certainly shown signs of their tantalising best over the past week.

Ahead of what is a mouth-watering Premier League showdown, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Arsenal vs Manchester City Bet Builder Tips.

Arsenal boosted by their recent success

Eventually forced to settle for another silver medal finish among England’s elite last season as they finished 10 points adrift of Liverpool, Arteta is more than aware that he has serious exceptions on his shoulders this time around.

Despite heading into September’s fortnight interval with a late 1-0 loss away at defending champions Liverpool, Arsenal haven’t shown any signs of a hangover.

Getting their Champions League adventure underway with a rugged 2-0 victory away at Spanish outfit Athletic Bilbao in midweek, Sunday’s hosts have won four of their first five appearances across all competitions.

Getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with a 1-0 win against historic rivals Manchester United on August 17th, Arsenal will be confident of collecting another heavyweight scalp here.

Landing a sensational 5-1 romp when they last met Man City back in February, they are unbeaten in all of their previous five meetings across all competitions (three wins, two draws).

Chances could come thick and fast

Two Premier League giants who have only continued to shine since returning from September’s international break, neutrals will be hoping for a real thriller on Sunday afternoon.

Watching Arsenal land that iconic 5-1 victory when they last welcomed the Sky Blues to north London back on February 2nd, Sunday’s opponents do have a habit of producing plenty of fireworks when they meet.

Including a pulsating 2-2 stalemate when the two potential title contenders met at the Etihad 12 months ago, Arsenal and Manchester City saw their two Premier League showdowns last season produce 10 goals at both ends of the pitch.

In fact, five of the previous seven meetings between the English giants across all competitions have finished with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

With chances potentially coming thick and fast in the capital this weekend, it should also be highlighted that Arsenal have won their opening two Premier League matchups at the Emirates by an aggregate score of 8-0.

Haaland at his record-breaking best

While Man City might have suffered consecutive Premier League defeats when heading into September’s international break, Pep Guardiola’s attacking talisman has enjoyed a remarkable start to proceedings.

Looking to reclaim his Premier League Golden Boot this season, Erling Haaland has already registered five goals in his first four top-flight appearances.

Likewise, sensationally bagging five goals during Norway’s 11-1 World Cup qualifying victory against Moldova earlier in the month, the former Borussia Dortmund marksman has remarkably notched 11 goals for club and country this season.

Only shattering even more records since opening up the new campaign, Haaland was once again at it in midweek as he nodded in from Phil Foden’s delightful pass to score his 50th Champions League goal in just 49 games – the quickest player to reach that milestone.

Clearly needing to play a leading role if City are to mount a genuine title charge this season, the Norwegian poster boy will be desperate to steal all of the headlines on Sunday afternoon.
