(30.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nMan City have won 15 of the last 23 meetings, including 7 away to Arsenal. They lead the Premier League for goals (12 in 5 games) and have the division’s top possession and pass accuracy. Arsenal remain defensively solid, but City’s midfield scoring and attacking variety create a major edge here.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n10\/11 @ SkyBet<\/a>
(52.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nFour of the last six meetings have seen both teams score.
