Premier League Matchday 5 Preview: Man City & Arsenal go Head-to-Head

The fifth round of fixtures in the 2024/25 Premier League season features a clash between two teams with designs on winning the title.
 
Manchester City and Arsenal meet at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday in a match which is guaranteed to generate a ton of activity on football betting sites.
 
Read on as we look at some of the top Premier League games for Matchday 5 to highlight the key betting angles to consider.

Highlights

  • Man City fancied to defeat Arsenal.
  • Man United should keep rolling at Palace.
  • Over 2.5 goals market worth exploring.

Man City Worth Backing Against Arsenal

Man City have a perfect record after four matches this season and are fancied to enhance their record against title rivals Arsenal on Sunday.
 
Pep Guardiola’s side are a best-priced 4/5 on several UK betting apps and they look a good bet having started the new season in excellent form.
 
While the Gunners have picked up 10 points from a possible 12 this term, their performances have not suggested they will cause City many problems.

Man United Can Continue Their Resurgence

After making an underwhelming start to the new campaign, the pressure was on Manchester United to secure a positive result at Southampton last weekend.
 
They claimed an impressive 3-0 victory at St Mary’s and followed up with a 7-0 demolition job at home to Barnsley in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
 
The Red Devils can be backed at 6/4 on new betting sites to emerge victorious at Selhurst Park and they are fancied to continue their resurgence with another win.

Over 2.5 Goals Market Looks Tempting

Our bid to deliver another successful over 1.5 goals ten-fold multiple floundered last week, but compensation may await in the over 2.5 goals market on Matchday 5.
 
The games at West Ham United, Fulham, Leicester City and Southampton could be attacking affairs and can form a tasty looking four-fold.
 
Collective odds of 8.31 on the best football betting sites are well worth grabbing on what promises to be an exciting weekend in the Premier League.
