City travel to north London on Sunday to lock horns with Arsenal for what promises to be the match of the season so far.

It’s a clash that has become one of the highlights of the Premier League season, bringing together league leaders and reigning champions City with the third placed Gunners who lie just a point behind us in the table.

What’s more, it is also the latest battle of wits between City boss Pep Guardiola and Gunners counterpart Mikel Arteta who, of course, was assistant coach under Pep for three years here between 2016 and 2019.
