Will Man City break 35-year drought vs. Arsenal? Sportsbook odds say no

Amidst a mad Premier League betting season thus far, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes things will return to normal soon.

“Arsenal, Chelsea, United and Tottenham all have more experience than us...Probably one of those four teams will win the title,” he told British press.

Online sportsbooks Bet365, Bodog and PaddyPower bear this out, making Arsenal a big favorite when they host suprising no. 2 Man City on Wednesday night.

Clearly, taking Manchester City (even in this heretofore miraculous season) to win outright would require serious bravery, as City hasn’t enjoyed a victory at Arsenal since 1975. And if you’re feeling extremely confident in Arsenal’s chances – as many certainly are – PaddyPower offers an additional prop entitled “Draw No Bet” which gives the Gunners a 4/11 chance to win.

Since odds vary a bit at the three bookmakers, below are listed the outright odds each of three JackpotFinder-recommended online sports betting sites are offering.

Most interesting betting available? Probably Bodog’s goalscorer props: This online sportsbook has both Marouane Chamakh and Robin Van Persie at 3/2 to score anytime during the match, both are listed with 7/5 odds as first scorer – despite the fact that Van Persie has essentially replaced Chamakh in the starting lineup since his return from injury and hasn’t been especially effective in doing so.
