Arsenal vs. Man City Prop Picks

This weekend’s clash could put the focus on scoring defenders. Arsenal have struggled to score from open play throughout the season, with their best route to goal coming via corners. No side has scored more from corners, and Gabriel has been a constant threat, netting three from an xG of 4.14.

Josko Gvardiol is also an attacking threat for City from a defensive position. The left-back scored against Chelsea last week, and has netted five in 22 games this season from an xG of 4.05.

Arsenal vs. Man City Picks

Man City have looked back to their attacking best in recent weeks, netting nine in their previous two against Ipswich and Chelsea.

The champions could re-enter the title scrap this weekend at the Emirates, and it only aids their chances that they have won on six of their last seven trips to North London.
