Arsenal Steep Underdogs to Beat Man City When EPL Returns June 17

Manchester City are due to host Arsenal in what will be one of the first Premier League fixtures in more than three months after England’s top flight was cleared to resume on June 17. Below you'll find the US sportsbooks‘ predictions on Man City vs. Arsenal, odds, free bets bonuses for NJ, Indiana and Colorado.

The Premier League has been suspended since March 13 in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, but organisers confirmed a provisional restart date “provided all safety requirements are in place.” Soccer fans will be over the moon to see one of the sport’s most beloved leagues get back under way, with Liverpool on the brink of winning their first first-tier domestic title since 1990.

Manchester City – Arsenal (June 17) Preview & Prediction

Defending champions City sit second—25 points below the leaders—and are the only team who can mathematically catch up to the Reds. Mikel Arteta returns to the Etihad Stadium seven months after leaving his assistant coach role under Pep Guardiola, but the Gunners are at long odds of +650, available to William Hill customers in New Jersey.

The Citizens are way ahead at -280 (1.36), but there’s a wonder what impact will be felt by the fact fixtures will be played behind closed doors.

Guardiola’s side are otherwise priced at +650 (7.50) to win 3-2, 4-2 or 5-2 with FanDuel NJ. The Gunners are listed at +1650 (17.50) to win via the same scorelines, though it’s worth noting Arsenal haven’t been as impressive on the road in recent years.
