Premier League: Manchester City vs Arsenal Live
Preview: Manchester City vs Arsenal
Manchester City vs Arsenal on Easter Sunday at 3:30pm at the Etihad Stadium is highly anticipated as both sides seek the top spot in the premier league. Mikel Arteta will lead his team in an attempt to extend their one-point lead over the treble winners. If Arsenal can break their nine-year winless streak at the Etihad Stadium, their lead could potentially increase to four points.
Manchester City, who have won the title for three consecutive seasons, are currently one point behind Arsenal despite being on a 22-match unbeaten streak. City missed an opportunity to take the lead in the title race in their recent draw with Liverpool. However, they excel in the latter stages of the season and have a strong record at the Etihad Stadium, being unbeaten in 38 matches there.
After a disappointing winter period with just one win in seven matches, Arsenal has now achieved a remarkable eight wins in eight Premier League games in 2024, a first in the club’s history. Kai Havertz’s late goal against Brentford helped Arsenal secure the top spot in the table, which they maintained during the international break.
The team’s success continued with David Raya’s penalty heroics against Porto in the Champions League, earning them a chance to face Bayern Munich after breaking a streak of seven consecutive last-16 eliminations. The gunners are now on the verge of matching the nine-game winning streak achieved by their title-winning teams in the past, and they have been in impressive form away from home, scoring 17 goals and conceding none in their last three matches.
Head-to-head
The most recent match between the gunners and Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium ended in a dominant 4-1 victory for City. The gunners have already defeated City twice this season, in the community shield and a 1-0 win in the league, breaking a 15-game winless streak in the League. However, Arsenal has a poor record at the Etihad Stadium, with their last victory there dating back to January 2015.
Prediction
Despite City’s strong home record, a draw seems to be the most probable result for this highly anticipated match, which would likely be more satisfying for the gunners than for City supporters.
