THE top two collide in the Premier League today at the Etihad as Arsenal complete a tough run of away games with a clash against Manchester City.
The Gunners have claimed a 1-0 derby win at Tottenham and ground out a 0-0 draw at Atalanta in their last two outings, with their defence and keeper David Raya stealing the show.
The Gunners have conceded just once in five games this term – and even that came after they were down to 10 men – but they face the ultimate test against Erling Haaland and Co today.
Although City could only draw 0-0 at home to Inter Milan in midweek, their Premier League start has been perfect and a win today would take them five points clear of Arsenal.

Manchester City vs Arsenal top betting tips
Pep Guardiola's side found the Gunners a tough nut to crack in the league last term, losing 1-0 at the Emirates before drawing 0-0 in the Etihad return as Mikel Arteta parked the bus.
With both sides drawing 0-0 in midweek, it doesn't bode well for a thriller and Betano price under 2.5 goals at just 3/4 while betting against BTTS is only a little better at 5/6.
With Arsenal looking so solid at the back, the prices on a goal for Erling Haaland are much higher than they usually are. The Norwegian is rarely odds-against for a Premier League game but is 6/5 for anytime scorer today at Bet365.
With Haaland scoring nine times in six games this term, that looks worth a punt because if anyone's going to break the deadlock it will probably be him.
Gunners stopper Jurrien Timber has collected two yellows in four league games so far and that makes him a decent option for a card at 10/3 with Betano.
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest top tips
The other Premier League game today should be more entertaining as Nottingham Forest head to Brighton looking to build on their shock win at Anfield.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side have been one of the surprise packages so far, with two wins and two draws from their four outings. Brighton's record is exactly the same though so this should be a close game.
The Seagulls could only draw 0-0 with Ipswich in their last league outing but over 2.5 goals has come up in all of their other home games. That bet pays just 4/5 at Betano but adding BTTS boosts the odds to 6/5.
Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma is showing signs of getting back to his best and is 13/5 at Betano for an assist today.
Forest's Callum Hudson-Odoi should start after coming off the bench to score at Anfield and is 6/4 at Bet365 just to have an effort on target.
Celtic vs Falkirk top betting tips
The League Cup quarter-finals come to a conclusion in Scotland today as Championship side Falkirk bid to stop the Celtic juggernaut.
The Hoops have won every game pretty comfortably so far this season and smashed five past Slovan Bratislava in their Champions League opener on Wednesday night.
Falkirk have also started the season on fire though, winning nine of their 11 games, and boss John McGlynn will be hoping Celtic have a hangover after their Euro party.
BTTS pays evens at Betano and could be worth a punt as I'd imagine Brendan Rodgers will make a few changes to freshen things up.
Backing some Celtic fringe players to score could also pay off as the likes of Adam Idah, Paulo Bernardo and Luis Palma may be handed starts.
Striker Idah is just 8/13 to score at Bet365 but winger Palma is better at 6/4 and midfielder Bernardo is 12/5.

Looks solid alex, a lot of punters don’t realise it but City aren’t chasing a title this season they are more than likely battling a relegation from an inevitable points deduction and I put their fast start to the season down to that, the old adage we are going don fighting springs to mind.

NAP lands inside 20 mins. LS2 lands late with partey challenge bringing up 4/6 and 22/1 winners and it’s only Half Time. Just waiting on Rice to be fouled now… Michael Oliver is so corrupt needs investigating. Paid £20k to go ref in Abu Dhabi for man cities owners. Not sure how it’s even allowed..
Does the Lewis Dunk effort near the end of game not count as a shot on target ??
According to opta he didn’t even have an effort let alone on goal..
I watched the game the goalie tipped it over the bar for a corner
Just re read all commentary and minteh had two attempts that were tipped onto woodwork apparently at the end one was from a corner to a corner. So no idea id turned off by that point
It’s a con if goalie hadn’t touched it it would have been a goal so by definition it must have been a shot on target.
No happy
It’s saying he didn’t even have a shot nothing to do with it being on target (didn’t even have an attempt)
Calafiori to be booked and arsenal to score
Double 4/1
Good luck 👍🏾
Cost me aswell on bet365 s Brighton match special
Yeah that’s the bet I done
Canna understand it myself
Yep absolute con,shot tipped onto bar by goal keeper doesn’t count,pathetic what they have as classed shot on goal and what isn’t classed as a shot on goal,small print 🙄, makes you wonder whether its worth it

Also waiting on overs in the Milan Derby for a 20/1 goals acca 🤞
Wouldn’t of come close had Rodri not got Injured, City would of nailed them.
But he did macca ya can’t always have ya best players fit
Can’t seem to find your 20/1 goals acca post?shame must be on yesterday’s thread as looked on today’s thread!
Arsenal’s dirty tricks not a big club mentality, time wasting. They are their own worst enemies.
Unlucky Deano86 same here he’s always good for a foul aswel usually.
Unlucky.
Another sly remark
Deano’s post is not on Saturdays thread, must be a personal bet he’s not posted here.
No great issue, I bet on things I don’t post here too.
How this Milan game is still 1-1 is a mystery, Tammy Abraham doing what he does best, missing sitters.
Now he’ll score in the last 10 minutes of course 😂
I try to ignore him me self elvis
Not at all I was asking as I couldn’t find it&thought perhaps it was posted on yesterday’s thread,no offence meant old bean👊
Atl Madrid, Inter and Marseille all to win and both teams to score 45/1 Treble. MGM 🤞
I take that back. Marseille down to 10 men inside 10 mins 😂😂😂
Rayo Vallecano vs Atl. Madrid was a seriously dodgy game. Not one single card given. For a La Liga game! (ref averages 4 yellows per game normally)
The game had 9 vs 12 fouls and ZERO cards!
Unheard of
