Sunday is the biggest day of the Premier League season.
All three teams competing for the title are in action and two of them, Manchester City and Arsenal, will face each other at the Etihad Stadium.
City are +110 favorites to win the trophy, just ahead of Liverpool (+200) and Arsenal (+275), although it is Arsenal who currently sit in first place thanks to a superior goal difference to Liverpool and one point ahead. on Manchester City.
Everything could be very different on Sunday evening.
The old adage suggests that styles make battles and if this cliché is to be believed, Sunday’s six-pointer between Manchester City and Arsenal could be quite a cagey one.
The Cityzens and the Gunners play a very similar style, dominated by possession, and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was Pep Guardiola’s deputy at City for years before moving to north London.
Neither team plays with much risk when they have the ball and I would be surprised if either team was particularly keen to press in defense, knowing their opponent is waiting for a mistake to exploit.
Additionally, I don’t think either side considers this a must-win game.

Of course, a win would greatly increase their chances, but a draw would keep both clubs in contention and neither team will want to make the critical mistake if this match is still up for grabs with time running out.
Games: Draw Arsenal-Manchester City (+280) and less than 0.5 goals (12/1).
