Arsenal faces a season-deciding title clash against Manchester City on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium.
After sitting on top of the Premier League table for much of the Premier League season, a defeat at the home of the champion would tilt the title heavily in favour of City.
The Gunners are currently placed first with 75 points but have played two more games than Pep Guardiola’s men, who could close the gap to two points with a win on Wednesday.
Arsenal has to beat City to hand itself the initiative in the title run-in.
A draw would also not be a bad result but the North London side should then close in on City’s superior goal difference (+7) in the event it wins its remaining games.
But a win for Arsenal at City seems unlikely going by history with the table-toppers never having beaten it since 2015, December.
And in 13 league meetings since Guardiola joined City, the Manchester-club has won 11 times, while drawing the other two.
Arsenal’s record at Etihad since Dec. 2015
- Manchester City 2-1 Arsenal : Dec 18, 2016
- Manchester City 3-1 Arsenal : Nov 5, 2017

Arsenal has lost in its six visits to the Etihad since Guardiola’s arrival and hasn’t scored in their last three outings at the venue.
