Arsenal and Manchester City will face off in a top-of-the-table Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium Sunday. The team from Manchester are the league leaders with 18 points from seven league matches, and Arsenal and Tottenham close behind in the chase, with 17 points.
The Gunners are one of the only two teams who are still unbeaten in the league this season, after City's solid run was ended by Wolves in their most recent outing. Mikel Arteta's side, however, are heading into the fixture on the back of a defeat at the hands of Lens in the group stage of the Champions League.
After two back-to-back defeats, one of them in the Carabao Cup, Pep Guardiola's team bounced back with a win against RB Leipzig in the Champions League in the mid-week clash. Suffering two defeats in a row in the middle of a season has become a rare occurrence for City and the last time that happened was back in January 2023.
