On Wednesday evening, top of the table Arsenal host Manchester City in the English Premier League at the Emirates stadium.
The Gunners come into this fixture three points clear of their opponents, and Mikel Arteta’s side will be well aware that City are the main obstacle in their way if they want to lift the trophy come May.
City comfortably beat Aston Villa 3-1 in their recent fixture, with three first half goals from Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez proving too much for the travelling side to come back from. A win at the Emirates will propel City to the top of the league.
This highly anticipated match is set to be one of the games of the season, and you can make proceedings even more exciting at Bet9ja, where you can bet on more than 200 markets.
Arsenal v Manchester City

Emirates Stadium
Starting with the hosts, they come into this fixture on a slight dip in form to what they have shown in the opening half of the season, after losing to Everton and drawing at home to Brentford in the recent two fixtures.
However, the Gunners will feel slightly hard done by after a controversial VAR decision denied them a win against the Bees. The decision, which allowed Brentford to equalise, has since been looked at and caused Lee Mason to be stripped from his duties, confirming the mistake from the officials.
With Arteta previously being the assistant of City, he will be well aware of the talent that the Manchester club have within their ranks, so he will know that his side will have to be on their A game in order to get a result.
City have lost just one of their last five games in all competitions, and if they can come away from the Emirates with all three points, then it will take them level, albeit having played one more game.
Erling Haaland has been the main man for Pep Guardiola this season, and is the top scorer in the division within 25 goals. The Danish international was subbed off at half time in their previous match, to ensure that he is fully fit to go against the league leaders.
With the two sides sitting first and second in the Premier League this season, we predict an even affair, and you can get odds of 3.45 at Bet9ja, for the game to be a draw. This match could prove vital in the title race, so both sides will want to come out of the blocks firing and get the first blow of the game, and you can get odds at 7.70 for a goal to be scored in the first five minutes.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Arsenal win: 2.92, Draw: 3.45, Manchester City win: 2.44
