Arsenal vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Emirates Stadium
Follow live coverage as Arsenal face Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Arsenal vs Manchester City
City leapfrog their opponents into first, but they only sit above them on goal difference, and Arsenal do have a game in hand. They end their losing run on the road, and next up for them is a trip to Nottingham Forest. Arsenal are now winless in four in all competitions, and Arteta will be hoping they can turn things around against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Arsenal vs Manchester City
City go top of the table with a 3-1 win over Arsenal. They took the lead with their first shot of the game after De Bruyne latched onto a blind backpass from Tomiyasu and swept it over Ramsdale and into the empty net. Saka coolly pulled one back from the spot before the break. It took a while for the second half to properly get going, but it was City who found their rhythm. Zinchenko's lapse in concentration was punished as Grealish rolled it in and Haaland got their third after a clever move from the visitors.
