Football betting odds favor Manchester City over Liverpool in English Premier League

The premier match in the English Premier League this week surely must be Manchester City vs. Arsenal, though exactly what rosters these teams can put together is a bit of a question – it makes for some intriguing wagering at Bodog and bet365 online sportsbooks.

Arsenal is coming off a crushing 5-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk, but are missing no fewer than five key players for this match: Jack Wilshire thanks to red cards, plus Bacary Sagna, Thomas Vermaelen, Robin van Persie, Aaron Ramsey and possibly Manual Almunia are out due to injury. Add in to the fact that Arsenal is 1-2-1 in away games this season, and you get why they’re 2/1 underdogs at Bodog (and 19/10 at bet365).

Manchester City has its own injury woes to deal with as well: Yaya Toure, Aleksandar Kolarov and Mario Balotelli are all out for the match, though Kolo Toure may go and Emmanuel Adebayor is a definite to start. Adebayor should be leading the attack and has 13/8 odds at Bodog to score at some point during the match. Carlos Tevéz, who’s currently lobbying Wayne Rooney to join Man City, is the overwhelming top dog to score at 6/5.

The most difficult market on the board may be exact score. While a scoring machine at home with 3.5 goals per match, Arsenal is averaging just 1 in away games. Arsenal hasn’t kept the opposition out of the goal in 14 games. Yet, the last time Arsenal faced Manchester City, the result was a 0-0 draw, an eventuality that bet365 and Bodog have at 11/5.
