Our 11/1 Manchester City vs Arsenal bet builder tip for Sunday’s Premier League title showdown. Kick-off is at 4:30pm BST at the Etihad Stadium, live on Sky Sports from 4pm.
This is the biggest match of the Premier League season. Arsenal lead City by six points at the top with six games to go, but City have a game in hand — a win on Sunday effectively closes the gap to three points and sets up a grandstand finish to the title race. Arsenal arrive having won just one of their last five in all competitions and without Bukayo Saka, who is ruled out. City come in on the back of three consecutive wins without conceding, including a 2-0 Carabao Cup final victory over Arsenal last month. Mikel Arteta’s side have not won at the Etihad since 2015. Our tipster has found an 11/1 bet builder combining Man City to win, both teams to score, Antoine Semenyo over 0.5 shots on target and Viktor Gyokeres over 0.5 shots on target.

It’s crunch time at the top of the Premier League. Man City versus Arsenal, second versus top, and the Premier League title on the line. Arsenal are the current league leaders, six points clear of City, but Pep Guardiola’s side have played a game less.
City have won six of their last 10 matches in all competitions, including three wins from their last three, without conceding a goal. They’ve won 19 of their 31 league outings this season.
Arsenal have won 21, drawn seven and lost only four in the league so far this season. Many are referring to their playing style as boring under Mikel Arteta, but their fans won’t care if they can extend their lead at the top this weekend.
Best Bet Builder Tip – Man City to Win (17/20)
Man City are decent odds to beat Arsenal at home at odds of 17/20. Pep Guardiola’s side come into this one in the better form of the two, with three wins in each of their last three matches, with a clean sheet in each match. Arsenal are in poor form by their standards this season, with only one win in their last five in all competitions, a 1-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. City defeated Arsenal 2-0 less than a month ago in the Carabao Cup final, and I expect a repeat of that result this Sunday.
Both Teams to Score (17/20)
Arsenal have scored in eight of their last 10 in all competitions, while Man City have scored in nine of their last 10. For that reason, and with what’s at stake this weekend, I think both teams will get themselves on the scoresheet this weekend. Both teams have scored in five of City’s last 10, and both teams have scored in four of City’s last 10. In the last five meetings between these two, both teams have scored on three occasions. I think both teams to score is a good bet here.
Antoine Semenyo Over 0.5 Shots on Target (3/4)
Antoine Semenyo is already a fans favourite since joining City from Bournemouth in the January transfer window. This season, for Man City and Bournemouth, he has bagged 18 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions. 15 of those goals have come in the league, in which he has had a total of 73 shots, with 38 of them being on target. That gives him an average well above 0.5 shots on target per game, and I think he will have a minimum of one on Sunday.
Viktor Gyokeres Over 0.5 Shots on Target (6/5)
Odds of 6/5 are exceptional for Arsenal frontman Viktor Gyokeres to have one or more shots on target. He’s not the most prolific striker, but he has had a decent season, with 18 goals to his name in all competitions. 12 of those have come in the Premier League, in which he has had 18 shots on target, an average of more than 0.5 per game. This one will be end to end, and I think Gyokeres will be there or thereabouts if Arsenal are to create chances. I think 6/5 is brilliant odds to have a shot on target here.
Alternative Bet – Over 2.5 Goals in the Match @ 1/1
Evens is good odds for there to be over 2.5 goals in this one. By taking this, you’re not relying on both teams getting a goal, so if one is on song and one is off the boil, the bet builder could still land. This selection reduces the odds of this bet builder to 8/1 with bet365.
