Manchester City Vs Arsenal Today At 5pm
Pep Guardiola and Arsène Wenger: two managers whose pass-pass-attack ethos is about as identical as can be expected so this match should fascinate. A point and a position separates Manchester City from Arsenal, in fourth and third respectively. And as City have not beaten the visitors since a 6-3 walloping three years ago, a victory for them would be particularly satisfying. One outcome seems certain – this will not be a goalless draw. Jamie Jackson.
Manchester City are without midfielder Ilkay Gundogan after the German suffered cruciate ligament damage in midweek.
Midfielder Fernandinho sits out the final match of his three-game ban while striker Sergio Aguero is also suspended for two more fixtures.
Olivier Giroud has scored in four successive appearances against Manchester City in all competitions.
Manchester City have been given eight red cards in the Premier League against Arsenal; more than they have against any other opponent.
Arsene Wenger has won just two of his previous eight competitive meetings with Pep Guardiola (W2 D2 L4), all in the Champions League. Away from home, his record versus the Spaniard is W0 D1 L3.
Petr Cech has failed to keep a clean sheet in his last seven Premier League appearances; he has never gone eight successive games without a clean sheet in the competition.
Alexis Sanchez has had a hand in 27 goals in his last 27 Premier League appearances for Arsenal (19 goals, 8 assists).
