We welcome Enzo Maresca’s side to the Etihad Stadium at 17:30 (UK) on Saturday 25 January knowing that victory will take us above the visitors.
First, we remember the May 2023 win over the west London side on the day we lifted the Premier League trophy - with Julian Alvarez scoring the only goal.
Then we go all the way back to 2009 for Shay Given’s penalty save against future City man Frank Lampard.
And it’s Lampard’s memorable goal we go to next! The midfielder turned the ball home for his first City goal.
Finally we go to 2019, when Sergio Aguero hit a brilliant hat-trick as we smashed the visitors 6-0.
