Arsenal v Manchester City Preview: 29th March 2014
Today’s Football News provides the Arsenal v Manchester City preview for this saturday, 29th March 2014
We’re now in the business end of the season and at first glance, City to win here at 2.12 looks like the obvious bet with Pellegrini’s men on a high after demolishing Man United at Old Trafford and Arsenal still reeling from the 6-0 defeat at Chelsea.
However, the Gunners have actually performed well against the big sides on home soil so a draw is a lively runner.
With the reverse fixture ending in an incredible 6-3 victory for City, you might think goals would be the bet but Arsenal have kept more clean sheets at home than any other Premier League team this season, including shutting out Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham, while City haven’t conceded in five games.
Statistics….
There have been six red cards in the last seven Barclays Premier League meetings between Man City (4) and Arsenal (2). Five of those have come in the last three meetings at the Emirates.
