  • 57% of Arsenal league matches have seen over 2.5 goals. 68% of Man City league matches have seen over 2.5 goals.

It’s no surprise that the top two in the Premier League have scored the most goals but both Arsenal and Man City have been dominant in front of goal this season. Arsenal have seen an average of three goals a game this season, with Man City’s total even higher at an average of 3.5 goals per game.

  • Granit Xhaka has been booked seven times in all competitions this season.

Xhaka’s booking record has become almost meme-worthy over his career and, although he’s had more of a clear head this season, he’s still managed to pick up seven bookings this season. He’ll be up for such an important fixture and that tenacity could bubble over, causing a yellow card.

  • Riyad Mahrez has averaged 2.5 shots per game over his last four games. 

The Algerian is in a rich vein of form recently, and is showing his attacking prowess with over two shots per game over the last four games. He’s one of the first names on Pep Guardiola’s teamsheet at the moment and Mahrez could be a match winner at the Emirates.

  • Bukayo Saka has averaged 1.66 shots on target over his last four games.

Saka has had a tremendous season so far, and looks to be in line for a place in the PFA Team of the Year. He’s been one of the best attacking outlets for Arsenal this season and is averaging almost two shots on target per game in recent weeks.

  • Four of the last six league meetings between these two sides have seen both sides pick up 20+ booking points. 

Whilst not one of the most traditionally feisty fixtures, this game has gone under the radar as one which sees a lot of cards. Anthony Taylor is the man in the middle and he’s averaged 3.80 cards per game in the league this season.

For those unfamiliar with booking points, here are how they are worked out:

Booking Points

Yellow Card 10 Booking Points
Straight Red Card 25 Booking Points
Yellow Card/Red 35 Booking Points
