Mikel Arteta’s side have sat at the summit of English football since September with a first league title in 22 years still within their grasp.
But cracks have begun to show. Defeat in the Carabao Cup final, elimination from the FA Cup final and a dismal defeat to Bournemouth last time out has fuelled panic at the Emirates.
In the background, City have been waiting for their moment. Having schooled the Gunners at Wembley just last month, victory today would cut Arsenal’s lead to just three points and deal a seismic blow to their hopes of getting over the line.
But a first win at the Etihad since 2015 for the Gunners today would dispel the anxiety and surely extinguish City hopes once and for all. It really doesn’t get bigger than this.
