Arsenal’s Premier League title dreams are about to get a real test as they take on the reigning champs, Manchester City. The Gunners are sitting pretty in second place, just six points behind league leaders Liverpool, and they’re on a roll with a five-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Their latest win, a 2-1 victory over Girona, has them cruising into the UEFA Champions League last 16.
At home, Arsenal has been a force to be reckoned with, going unbeaten in 13 league games—their longest streak under Mikel Arteta. Since gameweek 11, they’ve racked up the most points (29) of any Premier League team. Another win here would mark their best league run since Unai Emery’s time in 2018.
On the flip side, Manchester City is starting to find their groove, winning three of their last four. Their 3-1 win over Club Brugge secured their spot in the Champions League, and while defending their title from fourth place seems tough, a win in North London could boost them into the top two.
History shows that City tends to shine in the second half of the season. Pep Guardiola’s squad has lost just one of their last 40 league games played from January onward—and that lone defeat came after they had already clinched last season’s title.

Kai Havertz, who famously scored Chelsea’s Champions League-winning goal against City in 2021, has only found the net once in 12 meetings with them. But he’s coming into this match in great form, having scored in his last two home league games. Phil Foden is on fire, leading the league in January goals (six) and will be crucial to City’s attack.
Hot Stat: Manchester City won 12 straight league meetings with Arsenal from 2017 to 2023 but are now winless in the last three.
