Manchester City will take on Arsenal in an early-season top-of-the-table Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
The Gunners are second in the standings after four rounds, two points behind leaders City. They will be hoping to end the perfect winning start of Pep Guardiola's team.
The last time Arsenal managed to beat City in front of their home crowd was back in January 2015, and Mikel Arteta will have his task cut out this weekend to outthink his rivals.
