This Sunday, an exhilarating clash awaits as Manchester City travel to the Emirates Stadium where they will face Arsenal in the Premier League.
Arsenal come into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-1 defeat on the road against Racing Club de Lens in the Champions League, with Gabriel Jesus scoring the goal for the Gunners.
Manchester City won 3-1 on their last time out against a strong RB Leipzig side in the Champions League, thanks to goals from Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez and summer signing Jeremy Doku.

The Gunners have had a strong start to the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, as they find themselves unbeaten after seven games after winning five times and drawing twice.
Arsenal sat top of the table for the majority of last season but fell short on their hunt to win the league after Manchester City had enough quality in the end to go on to lift their fifth title in six seasons.
Mikel Arteta was handed with a major blow ahead of this important fixture, after Bukayo Saka was forced off due to injury in the first-half against Lens, so he is a doubt to feature on Sunday.
Manchester City have picked up where they left off from last term as they currently sit top of the Premier League table after winning six out of their seven opening games.
However, they did pick up a rare defeat in their recent fixture in the league against Wolverhampton Wanderers, so the Gunners might feel confident that they can now get a result against Pep Guardiola’s side.
Julian Alvarez has been in inspiring form for City this season after he has really stepped up to the plate by notching nine goal contributions in his last nine games in all competitions.
