Manchester City vs Arsenal 26.04.2023

Arguably the biggest game of the premier league this season. 2nd placed Manchester City are looking to dethrone Arsenal at the top while the Gunners are keen to hang on in this last stretch of the title race. Manchester City go into this match in excellent form, unbeaten in their last 16 games (W13 D3) across all competitions and having beaten Arsenal in all their last 5 meetings.

Arsenal have a 5 point-gap at top of the table having played 2 more games than Manchester City. They have faltered of late, drawing 3 consecutive games to see their lead at the top evaporate. A win here will revitalize their title hopes and give them a great boost in the home stretch. Nevertheless, it will be a difficult task considering their poor recent form against City.

In a match that brings together the two best-attacking teams in the EPL, we expect plenty of attacking action from both sides. These sides are known to win many corners in their games and we expect the same outcome here. We thus predict more than 8 corners in total in this game.

Main tip: Over 8.5 Corners (go to tip details)
