Arsenal vs Manchester City Preview and Team News
Arsenal Team News
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could hardly ask for more – his team boast strong form coming into the EFL Cup final, riding a five-game unbeaten streak.
In midweek, Arsenal defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League at home, stunning their opponents by keeping just 42% of the ball but taking 21 shots. The Gunners won this round-of-16 clash 3-1 on aggregate.
Attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze wove his magic with 100% accuracy in both shooting and dribbling, not to mention his beautiful goal in the 36th minute.
The absence of Jurrien Timber, Martin Odegaard, and Mikel Merino could hurt Arsenal in this big final.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Raya; Hincapie, Gabriel, Saliba, White; Rice, Zubimendi; Trossard, Eze, Saka; Gyokeres.
Manchester City Team News
Given Arsenal’s prime form, Manchester City face a tough challenge. Moreover, Pep Guardiola’s men have struggled in recent games, including a 1-2 loss to Real Madrid that knocked them out of the UEFA Champions League. They created just two clear chances in that match and failed to capitalize on them.
City have won just once in their last five outings, which is quite unlike them. What’s more, the team have scored just five goals during that stretch, averaging one per game, while conceding eight.
Still, manager Guardiola is expected to have close to a full-strength squad, with only Josko Gvardiol ruled out through injury.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Ait Nouri, Dias, Khusanov, Nunes; Rodri, Gonzalez; Doku, Marmoush, Cherki; Haaland.
Arsenal vs Manchester City Prediction
- Pick: Arsenal to win or draw
- Odds: -278 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Manchester City
Arsenal should either win or draw. If the match ends level, it will be decided on penalties. Arsenal have had the upper hand over City in the Premier League this season, and that edge could carry into this final.
They also have momentum on their side, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions. Notably, Arsenal haven’t lost to City in their last six meetings.
Arsenal vs Manchester City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -147 (20Bet)
What else can we expect but for both teams to score when such giants meet? The last three matches played between these clubs have seen this line land.
City’s Omar Marmoush has netted three goals and ranks third among top scorers in this tournament. He’s supported by Rayan Cherki, who has four goal involvements and is second on the goals + assists list.
Arsenal’s Declan Rice, meanwhile, ranks second for big chances created (3). Striker Victor Gyokeres, with an xG of 1.1 in the EFL Cup, will be another major threat.
