The two sides were all set to resume a modern rivalry that has seen Mikel Arteta’s side become our closest challengers for the Premier League title.
The Gunners have been runners up in the last two terms while Pep Guardiola has led us to a record four successive triumphs.
We have enjoyed a positive record against the north London side at the Etihad in recent years.
In fact, we are unbeaten in our last nine Premier League home games against the Gunners - winning seven times on that run that stretches all the way back to 2015.
With this just the fifth match of the new season, the title would not be decided here but the winner would go some way to laying down a marker for the season.
Our Full Match Replay allows fans who missed the game, to watch it ‘as live’ - so, if you’ve managed to avoid the final scoreline you can enjoy as you would at the time.
Watch how it unfolded above...
