admin Manchester City and Arsenal have become formidable foes since the beginning of the 2022/23 season, when Pep Guardiola went head-to-head with his former assistant Mikel Arteta in the Premier Legaue title race.
It was the former Barcelona coach who came out on top come the end of the campaign, but the two managers are trading blows again this year as Arsenal look to steal Man City’s Premier League crown.
The Cityzens have generally dominated this fixture over recent years, although Arsenal did secure a memorable late victory at the Emirates Stadium earlier this campaign.
Here’s a close look at the most recent encounters between the two giants.

Man City 1-0 Arsenal – 27 January 2023
The first of five meetings between the teams in 2023, Man City once again came out on top in an FA Cup fourth round clash between the teams at the Etihad. Despite defeat, the Gunners did themselves proud with a heavily rotated side, but Guardiola’s side progressed regardless en route to the trophy.
Nathan Ake’s second-half strike was the difference between the two teams, with the introduction of William Saliba, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli off the bench unable to help Arsenal into the fifth round.
