The best game of the week in the Premier League figures to be Manchester City hosting Arsenal on Sunday with City a slight favorite at the sports betting website. Week 9 action in the Premier League begins with Tottenham favored in sports betting at home against Everton in a match that can be seen on ESPN 2.
Arsenal at Manchester City – Manchester City is two points back of Chelsea while Arsenal is five points back. This is a key match for Arsenal if they want to remain within striking distance. Arsenal is coming off a big win in the Champions League as they destroyed Shakhtar Donetsk by a final score of 5-1. Manager Arsene Wenger believes that win will give his team confidence for Sunday’s match against Manchester City. While Wenger may feel good about his chances, the trends are not in his team’s favor. Arsenal has one just one of their last eight games in the Premier League on the road. They have not kept a clean sheet in their last 15 road matches in all competitions. And they have lost four of their last five at Manchester City.
