Manchester City and Arsenal duel for the top of the table. AI forecast, 22.09.24

Another battle for the number 1 spot in England

Published on 17.09.2024 14:58.

In the past two years, the Premier League has been dominated by the duel between Manchester City and Arsenal FC. City won the title in both years, but the Gunners are steadily catching up and are once again the top favorites for the title this year. After 4 matchdays, it can be assumed that there will be another duel between these two teams. Manchester City are top of the table with 12 points, while Arsenal are their closest rivals after a draw against Brighton and 10 points. However, the pressure is more on the Gunners, as a defeat could see the gap widen to 5 points.

1:1
Absolute top match in the Premier League. ManCity and Arsenal are still without a defeat in a competitive match this season and will be looking to go top of the table.

The AI prediction has no clear favorite in this game

In its betting tip analysis, the artificial intelligence repeatedly mentions that it will be a close and tight game where, in the end, the condition of the day will probably decide. City have the home advantage and also fewer injured players in the squad, which is why they can be seen as slight favorites. However, Arsenal will be out for revenge and can beat any opponent on a good day. The Gunners have also not lost their last 3 matches.

Manchester City remain the big hunted

The reigning champions have shown right from the start that they are the team to beat this season. After 4 match days, they lead the Premier League and have won every game so far. In addition to the victories in the league, they also won their first title of the season in mid-August. In the Community Shield, they beat Manchester United 7:8 on penalties. The last time City lost in the Premier League was in December 2023 when they were beaten 1-0 away to Aston Villa. The clash against Arsenal FC now gives them the chance to increase their lead on second place and thus also on their closest rivals. Erling Haaland could play a key role in this. The Norwegian has already scored 9 goals after 4 matchdays! That means he has scored more goals alone than any Premier League player collectively. On the last matchday, he scored a brace in a 2-1 win against FC Brentford.

ManCity struggle against Arsenal FC

The Citizens won a total of 8 games in a row against Arsenal FC between 2020 and 2023. This winning streak was broken last season in the Community Shield. In the league, they also went winless in both games after that. Away in London they were beaten 1-0 and away they only managed a 0-0 draw. Despite an Erling Haaland, City have therefore failed to score in their last two games against the Gunners. Their last goal against Arsenal was scored by a certain Cole Palmer, who is no longer with the team.

Is Arsenal FC ready for the top clash?

The Gunners certainly have a few more problems than the hosts at the moment. This is primarily due to the long injury list. Arsenal will be without captain Martin Ödegaard as well as Mikel Merino and Riccardo Calafiori. Declan Rice also missed out on the last matchday, but only due to a suspension. Arsenal also clearly have the pressure on their side, as a defeat would see the gap grow to 5 points. They could also drop out of the top 4 in the table.

Despite these negative aspects, Arsenal have had a strong season so far and are still unbeaten after 4 games. They have won 3 of these 4 games and only had to settle for a draw against Brighton. With only one goal conceded, they also currently have the best defense, together with Liverpool FC.

The Gunners can boast a strong series

The visitors have not lost a competitive match since the quarter-finals of last year's Champions League. Their last defeat came in April 2024. Since then, they have played 10 games, winning nine and drawing one. The fact that they have not conceded a goal in 7 of their last 10 games and have only conceded more than once shows how strong their defense is.

Forebet expects the Gunners to win

Somewhat surprisingly, Forebet's supercomputer has calculated a 36% probability of victory for Arsenal FC. Manchester City, on the other hand, only have a 31% chance of winning. On the other hand, a draw in this top match is 33% likely. In contrast to the previous duels, this time more than 2.5 goals are expected. The AI has predicted a 1:2 result.

For us, City are slight favorites at home - Our prediction

In contrast to Forebet, we think ManCity are the slight favorites. Based on their current form and home advantage, a betting tip of 1 is more likely for us, but not recommended for a combined bet. Here we would probably play it safe and bet on more than 1.5 goals. If Arsenal fall behind, they will probably have to take risks, as they cannot afford to lose. The betting market Both teams to score YES could be interesting here.
