Prediction for the match between Manchester City and Arsenal, which will take place on January 27. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Manchester City

Manchester City this season has an incredibly powerful competitor in the form of Arsenal. After 20 games, the Citizens have 45 points, so they are second in the EPL table. They are five points behind the leader and have played one more match. In general, the team's situation in the championship is not the brightest. As for the FA Cup, the team beat Chelsea with a score of 4:0. Manchester City got past Wolverhampton 3:0 thanks to a hat-trick by Erling Holland in their last match in the EPL on January 22.

Arsenal

Arsenal has an incredible campaign. There are no bright superstars in their squad, but they still consistently win and lead the EPL standings with 50 points. The gap from the second Manchester City is decent. In the FA Cup, the team got a relatively modest opponent (Oxford United) in the round of 64 and quickly beat it with a score of 3:0. It should be noted that on January 22, Arsenal played Manchester United in the EPL and dramatically snatched victory in the 90th minute (3:2).

Expert Betting Tips

We think it's worth betting on goals in this encounter. Manchester City is the favorite - because it'll be hard for them to catch up with Arsenal in the EPL, and you can't finish the season without a trophy, so the FA Cup's importance is high. Plus, the Citizens have an incredible bench.

Guardiola and Arteta will resort to a slight rotation of the lineup, which could entail mistakes in defense and scoring goals. The London club should not be written off - they will certainly score, but they are likely to concede more. We expect a standard total over.
