We take on Mikel Arteta’s men this coming Sunday, with a 16:00 (UK) kick-off at Wembley Stadium.
We’ll bring you plenty of build-up to the season opener, starting today with highlights from our February 2023 encounter from the Emirates Stadium.
That day, we won 3-1 on a memorable evening against our title rivals as we returned to the top of the Premier League table.
Takehiro Tomiyasu’s loose backpass played in Kevin de Bruyne to chip a shot over goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after 24 minutes but the Gunners drew level three minutes before half-time, Bukayo Saka scoring from the spot after City goalkeeper Ederson had been adjudged to have fouled Eddie Nketiah.

City came out firing in the second period as Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland ensured three immensely valuable three points on the road.
Grealish fired in an effort on 72 minutes to put us ahead before Haaland put the game beyond doubt eight minutes from time with a fine finish after good interplay with the impeccable De Bruyne.
