Pep Guardiola’s side welcome the Gunners to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday 26 April, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 (UK).
We enter the crucial Premier League meeting buoyed by an unbeaten run of 16 consecutive matches in all competitions, stretching back to February.
The latest of these came as we booked our place in the FA Cup final with a 3-0 win over Sheffield United, thanks to a sublime Riyad Mahrez hat-trick.
But against Mikel Arteta’s league leaders, we’ll certainly need to be at our best again to claim three, potential vital, points at home.
The Londoners haven’t tasted defeat in their past 10 league matches, stretching back to the reverse fixture between the two sides in the capital in February where City recorded a thrilling 3-1 victory.
Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring before Bukayo Saka equalised from the penalty spot on the cusp of half-time.
However, second-half goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland secured the success in north London.

CITY STAR
Ilkay Gundogan (£7.3m) can prove a very handy differential for managers in Gameweek 33 of Fantasy Premier League.
The midfielder is found in a mere 2.2% per cent of squads ahead of City’s home encounter with Arsenal on Wednesday evening.
Gundogan has stepped up his output in recent outings at the Etihad Stadium, with just a single blank in his last four.
The German amassed 23 points in that run, scoring against both Aston Villa and Liverpool, and supplying an assist against Wolves.
The underlying numbers also highlight Gundogan’s strong recent goal threat.
His six shots in the box in his last four matches places joint-second among team-mates, bettered only by the 12 of Erling Haaland (£12.3m).
ONE TO WATCH
Gabriel Martinelli (£6.9m) has been Arsenal’s form player on the road of late, with four goals, two assists and 42 points in his last five away fixtures.
DIFFERENTIALS
Elsewhere, Diogo Jota (£8.8m) and Jacob Ramsey (£5.3m) are low-owned gems who have strong form and fixtures.
Liverpool’s Jota visits West Ham United on the back of four goals, an assist and 29 points in his last two matches.
Ramsey has two goals, two assists and 28 points in his last three home outings ahead of Aston Villa’s clash with Fulham.
