Best Tip: Both teams to score

After looking at our match predictions, bookies' odds and relevant stats, there's one market which jumps out ahead of the rest for this fixture: both teams to score. In Man City and Arsenal we have two sides going head-to-head that regularly score, but equally have trouble shutting the opposition out, and we expect them to maintain that reputation on Sunday afternoon. BTTS – yes best odds: 1.62.
