In the last five meetings between Manchester City and Arsenal, the Citizens have scored six goals and Erling Haaland was the author of three of these goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Beaten three times in their last five meetings in all competitions, Mikel Arteta’s men are not favored by the forecasts for this trip to the Etihad Stadium where they have not won since 2015 (11 games without a win).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Pep Guardiola’s team arrives in great shape before this clash against Arsenal as they remain on three victories in all competitions. The Citizens took on the Gunners almost a month ago in the EFL Cup (2-0) before crushing Liverpool (4-0 in the FA Cup) and Chelsea (3-0 in the league) in the last two weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Citizen’s away XI: Donnarumma – Nunes, Khusanov, Gu\u00e9hi, O’Reilly – Rodri, Bernardo (Cap) – Semenyo, Cherki, Doku – Haaland<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
This is the Premier League football event not to be missed this weekend. Manchester City, 2nd in the standings with 64 points and a game in hand, hosts Arsenal, 1st with 70 points. A clash between two top names in the English championship, which should decide at the end of the meeting the identity of the English champion for this 2025\/2026 season. Relaunched and undefeated in their last five matches, Manchester City arrives with plenty of ambition.<\/p>\n
The Gunners, for their part, are not going through the best of times, including a surprising setback conceded at home against Bournemouth and a qualification for the semi-final of the Champions League with little glory. A context which should lead this match to offer many sensations!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Welcome to this live commentary of the match between Manchester City and Arsenal on the occasion of the 33rd day of the Premier League. The match will kick off at 5:30 p.m. at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
