We will soon share with you the starting lineups for the Arsenal vs Manchester City live match, as well as the latest information from the Emirates Stadium. Don’t miss a single detail of the live match updates and commentary from VAVEL’s coverage.
Manchester City are coming off the back of a comeback against Chelsea at home the previous week and a vital win over Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League, in a match where the Belgians were briefly condemning the Citizens to an embarrassing exit from the competition, but a strong second half performance ensured Guardiola’s side did not suffer the humiliation of a league exit.
Arsenal are coming off an important win over Girona in the UEFA Champions League, securing third place in the standings, but in the Premier League, the Gunners find themselves in a situation where they can more or less kiss their title chances goodbye if they don’t get a win in this game against the Citizens, so there is an obligation to stay in second place in the table.
