THE weekend gets under way with a belter as Man City entertain Arsenal at the Etihad (12.45pm).

It has the potential to be a cracker but whatever happens it should end up with three points staying in Manchester.

Arsenal have been tremendous this season since losing to Aston Villa on the opening day and their only other defeat was at Old Trafford.

But a trip to the Etihad is one of the toughest in football with City winning seven out of seven, scoring 29 and conceding just two.

The Gunners may have backers at 10-3 with Betvictor while the draw is 14-5 at Stan James but for me it's tough to go against City. My one gripe is should they be odds on at 5-6 with Paddy Power.

Arsenal don't have a striker of the quality of Sergio Aguero who is scoring for fun and I fancy him at 4-1 with Betway to net first.

Six of the previous eight meetings have gone over 2.5 goals and I expect a repeat and I'm willing to take a chance on over 3.5 at 13-8 with Betfred.

My Bonkers Bet in the Daily Record is Man City 3, Arsenal 2 and that pays 22-1 at Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and others.

    mR F I feel as a man who would rather make money I must protest at your bonkers bet…..it’s exactly that bonkers……

  2. Jack p 10 years ago

    City v arsenal – btts is 4/7@ skybet. Although short both are scoring and and this fixture in the past has produced goals for either team. What you reckon?

  3. Tim 10 years ago

    I’m taking a punt on Aguero and Giroud anytime double which sky bet have on a special at 8/1

  4. Patrick 10 years ago

    Gezaah, the bonkers bet is just a bit of speculative fun. Mr F. does not recommend lumping on it but some punters like to put a small stake on an outsider for a bit of fun and that’s what the Bonkers bet is all about.

    City to win and bts, Leicester win bts pays 10/1 that’s where my morning fiver has gone

  6. Madi 10 years ago

    I liked the look of city to win and btts and your write up here has convinced me. At 3.30 it’s a nice price

  7. simon 10 years ago

    i got 9/4 city win and btts. i think odds on city is a little short.

    Mr F,
    I usually put up correct score 3/2 on TV bets,mostly get 25/1, so only need a couple of correct scores in a season to break even.

    Having said that, how did Rooney not score or at least pass against Cardiff a couple of weeks ago. had Man.Utd. 3-2 at 33/1

  9. JAY 10 years ago
