Arsenal v Manchester City Betting Form

Arsenal fans are still dreaming of a quadruple this season. The team comfortably beat Leverkusen in midweek to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, and they currently sit top of the Premier League with a healthy lead over second-placed Manchester City.

To keep those hopes alive, Arsenal must get past Pep Guardiola’s side in this Sunday’s EFL Cup final—their first chance to win silverware this season.

ARSENAL LEAGUE FORM

WIN: Arsenal 2-0 Everton, 14th March 2026
WIN: Brighton 0-1 Arsenal, 4th March 2026
WIN: Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea, 1st March 2026

Manchester City are currently nine points behind Arsenal in the league and were recently knocked out of the Champions League after a heavy 5–1 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid.

The EFL Cup is a competition City dominated between 2017 and 2021, winning it four years in a row. Pep Guardiola will be eager to lift the trophy again and avoid his side going two consecutive seasons without silverware.

ARSENAL V MANCHESTER CITY FOOTBALL SPREAD BETTING PRICES

Our football spread betting prices have the Goal Supremacy as Arsenal / Manchester City at 0.1–0.3. This means a ‘buy’ bet at 0.3 would need Arsenal to win by one goal in order to start turning a profit (e.g. a one-goal win would win 0.7× your stake, a two-goal win 1.7× your stake, a three-goal win 2.7× your stake, etc.).

A 0.1 ‘sell’ bet would need either a draw, or Manchester City to win, to turn a profit (e.g. a draw would win 0.1× your stake, and a Manchester City win by one goal would win 1.1× your stake, etc.).

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 2.6–2.8. This means a 2.8 ‘buy’ bet would need at least three goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 2.6 ‘sell’ bet would need two goals or fewer to be scored in the match to turn a profit (three goals would result in a small loss of 0.4× your stake).

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. For example, a 2.8 ‘buy’ Total Goals bet would lose 2.8× your stake if the match ended 0–0. In the 0.3 ‘buy’ Supremacy bet example above, if the game ended a draw, the bet would lose 0.3× your stake. If Manchester City won by one goal, then it would lose 1.3× your stake, etc. And in the 0.1 ‘sell’ Supremacy example above, the bet would lose 0.9× your stake on a 1–0 Arsenal win, 1.9× your stake on a 2–0 Arsenal win, etc.
