Mikel Arteta admitted to his Arsenal players that Manchester City 'humiliated' them last season in the Blues' 5-0 win at the Etihad Stadium.
Three games into the 2021/22 season, City welcomed a winless Arsenal side to the Etihad and took an early lead, before Granit Xhaka was sent off midway through the first half. City went on to win 5-0 and condemn Arsenal to rock bottom in the table without having scored a goal.
Later in the season, City travelled to the Emirates for the reverse fixture, with a rejuvenated Arsenal side going ahead through Bukayo Saka, before a controversial Riyad Mahrez penalty was quickly followed by a foolish red card for Gabriel Magalhaes. Rodri then scored a 93rd minute winner for City and keep their title charge going.
