What is the form of Arsenal compared to Man City?
Arsenal finally put their winless run in the league to an end on Monday. To Gunners traveled to West Ham and registered a 3-1 comeback win in what was their first Premier League triumph since early October. However, a look at their overall form still makes for bleak reading, winning only once in their last 11 games (D6, L4).
As for Man City, things have not been going great for them lately but that is because the club is held to a higher standard. The Citizens have failed to win three of their last five games, including a 2-1 loss at home in the Manchester Derby. That was the sixth time Guardiola's side dropped points in their last 15 games in all competitions, losing three in the league.
Arsenal vs Man City head-to-head record
The head-to-head record understandably favors Arsenal due to their richer history but the Gunners have struggled against Man City in recent years. The Gunners have lost their last five encounters with the Citizens and have won only once in their last nine encounters in all competitions.
Team news
Arsenal have quite a few concerns heading into this crucial clash but have received a positive update surrounding Nicolas Pepe. Their record-signing appeared set to miss this game after bruising his knee at West Ham but is now in contention to play, given he passes a fitness test.
The same goes for Hector Bellerin, who has a hamstring issue, but Kieran Tierney and Granit Xhaka will not return due to a dislocated shoulder and concussion, respectively. They join Rob Holding and Dani Ceballos on the sidelines.
Guardiola has his own concerns. The reigning Premier League champions remain without top scorer Sergio Aguero, who is out with a thigh injury. John Stones has a hamstring injury which means Man City will be without another senior center-back.
David Silva is a doubt for this game after missing out on their midweek Champions League game. Fortunately, Ederson should be back after recovering from an illness.
