Arsenal play Manchester City as two Premier League heavyweights renew their rivalry in a huge game at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners need to respond in the title race after Liverpool moved nine points clear at the top with their win at Bournemouth on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta’s side cannot afford any slip-ups as they bid to hunt down Liverpool but they face a tough test against a City side full of quality, even if they enduring a difficult season. Pep Guardiola’s side have picked up a bit of form recently, with four wins in their last five Premier League games, and looked good in their win over Chelsea last weekend.
The reverse fixture at the Etihad was once of the games of the season, with City scoring a 96th-minute equaliser to draw 2-2 on a controversial afternoon. Erling Haaland threw the ball at Gabriel's head during the goal celebrations and then told Mikel Arteta to “stay humble”, so this has all the ingredients to be a classic.
