Arsenal’s recent setbacks have allowed Manchester City to re-enter the Premier League title race, and the Gunners are now hoping their rivals Spurs can assist them today.
The Gunners regained a seven-point lead with a 4-0 victory at Leeds yesterday, putting pressure on City to respond at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Thomas Frank’s side has already triumphed at Etihad this season but is now struggling in the league with numerous injuries affecting their squad.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City top betting tips
Both teams are coming off morale-boosting wins in the Champions League, with Tottenham finishing fourth in their group after a victory in Frankfurt.
However, their European success contrasts with a domestic slump, as Frank’s side nears the Premier League drop zone.
City appears to be the strong favorite at 3/4 with Coral, but combining the away win with an Erling Haaland goal offers 6/5 at Bet365.
Pep Guardiola’s defense tends to allow the opposition some goal chances, so backing Gianluigi Donnarumma for over 2.5 saves at evens might offer value.
Aston Villa vs Brentford
Aston Villa remains level on points with City in the title race and aims to maintain their push when Brentford visits.
Villa seemed likely to rest key players for Thursday’s Europa League match against Salzburg, and my 11/2 bet on the Austrians looked good when they led 2-0.
However, Unai Emery’s men scored three times in the second half, maintaining the positive atmosphere at Villa Park.
The victory came at a cost as Ollie Watkins limped off, and Villa’s attack seems thin after selling Donyell Malen.
New signing Tammy Abraham may debut, priced at 13/10 with Paddy Power to score or assist.
Brentford has lost two in a row after a good run, and Villa is generally strong at home. Despite some absences, Emery’s side is a solid bet at 23/20 with Betway for the win.
Hibernian vs Rangers
Rangers’ eight-game winning streak ended with a loss to Porto on Thursday, making their reaction against Hibernian in the SPFL Premiership intriguing.
Easter Road is always challenging, but Hibs, having lost two games, may be vulnerable.
With star striker Kieron Bowie now at Verona, Rangers’ win seems valuable at 6/5 with 888Sport.
This fixture is typically intense, with four or more cards shown in the last five encounters.
