Arsenal record another top-4 finish but yet again, the team failing to battle for the league title. The Gunners have 19 wins, 10 draws and seven defeats in 36 matches and sit on the third place with 67 points and 59-34 goal difference. Wenger’s men played 18 matches on the road, taking 30 points in these matches with 32-23 goal difference. The visiting side is on four match undefeated run in matches on the road.
Arsenal are unbeaten in recent head-to-heads with the Citizens and they won the reverse match at home 2-1. We can expect the Gunners at least avoid defeat in the upcoming match as well. Manchester City had tiresome clash with Real Madrid this midweek and it was clear the team lack physique in the last 25 minutes of the match when they needed only one goal to advance for the final. On the other hand, Arsenal have been playing one match per week for quite a while and had a chance to get ready for this clash.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with +0.5 Asian handicap.
