Arsenal have a torrid record against Manchester City in the Premier League and are without a win against the reigning champions since 2015. The Gunners have failed to win in their last 13 attempts against City, losing 11 and drawing just twice.
Arsene Wenger was the last Arsenal manager to beat the Manchester outfit as goals from Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud were enough to pick up all three points, despite Yaya Toure's late consolation goal at the Emirates Stadium. Both teams have changed significantly since that day in December 2015, but tonight represents the Gunners best chance at ending their poor league record against City considering their impressive form this season.
Arsenal are three points ahead of Pep Guardiola's side heading into the huge title clash tonight but have allowed City to close the gap at the top of the table after picking up just a point from their last two fixtures. Mikel Arteta will have a great understanding of Guardiola's tactics and City's strengths and weaknesses after spending a few years as the Spaniard's understudy at the Etihad Stadium following his retirement from playing.
