The EPL season is starting! The game is scheduled for September 21. The venue is Emirates Stadium.
This is where the contenders will meet. Man City is the favorite. They are the main contender for
the championship.
Kick-off is at 4:30 p.m. London time. This is not the first meeting between these teams.
But spectators are lost in guesswork. This allows you to share your betting plans.
The fifth round of the Premier League is starting, and the odds are in for predicting who will win.
Statistics of previous matches. Head to head
The 2024/25 football season ended with a good result for the team. Arsenal managed to take
second place in the standings. They scored 74 points. At that time, the club was managed by
Mikel Arteta.
Work was done to correct mistakes. The summer of 2025 brought pleasant surprises to several
players at once. Now, center forwards Victor Gekeres and Martin Zubimendi are in the Premier League.
However, the changes did not affect the captain. Odegaard will lead Arsenal F.C. in these competitions.
Probably, spectators will see one of the possible combinations of Saka – Gekeres – Martinelli and
Rice – Zubimendi/Edgar in the center.

Man City is still considered a possible team to win in England, and this is becoming a tradition.
The public’s predictions have not changed despite the fact that the last few seasons have been tense.
Head coach Guardiola is not abandoning his previous strategy and established lineups. He will
certainly use the combination of Ederson, Dias, Rodri, De Bruyne, and Haaland in this match.
Manchester City also strengthened during the off-season. Ryan Searcy is responsible for creativity during games, while Tijani Reinders provides flexibility in midfield. Ryan Ait-Nouri has filled the vacant spot in defense. He is also a newcomer this season.

Predictions and betting odds
Bettors are looking for offers and sharing tips. It is too early to make a firm prediction on the
results. Despite Man City being the clear favorite, the odds of winning are close to equal.
It remains to be seen whether the newcomers will be able to strengthen the team and what strategy
the coaches will choose.
However, a preliminary assessment of the probable winner has already been made, and the suggested
bet can be outlined as follows:
- 1X2 (P1/X/P2). The basic outcome market. When teams look even, bookmakers often
provide similar prices for a draw. - Double chance (1X/X2/12). A safer approach than a single outcome prediction, since
it combines several of the most likely results. - Total goals. Options such as under 2.5 or Asian 2.25/2.75. Considering recent
head-to-head results, a cautious pick could be “Under 3.0”. - Handicap. Suitable if one side appears to have a slight advantage in goals.
- Stat markets. Corners, cards, shots on target — for those who enjoy detailed props
and accounting for the referee’s style and pressing dynamics.
It is not yet possible to fairly compare all offers. Closer to kick-off you’ll be able to see what
predictions of Arsenal’s results are given by bookmakers and experts.
