This is a huge showdown in the English Premier League between two of the four best teams. Manchester City is in first place and is anchored by the No. 1 defense (12 goals allowed in 20 matches). They've had shutout wins in four of their last five after a 1-0 win over Brentford. Fourth-ranked Arsenal has won four in a row, three via shutout. For the season, they've allowed 23 goals in 19 matches. Arsenal's offense will be without striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and central midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles, the latter a key link between defensive and offensive attack. 11 of Arsenal's last 19 home games have gone UNDER 3 goals, and seven of the last eight Premier League meetings between these teams have seen Arsenal fail to score a goal, including the last five encounters. Also, two of the three league meetings were 1-0 Manchester City wins. Bet NO on Both Teams To Score and also back the UNDER.
