Of course Arsenal game is important for title - Pep

Arsenal host Manchester City in a rearranged Premier League fixture that will have big ramifications on the title race when the two rivals clash at the Emirates Stadium tonight.

The Gunners have a three-point lead – with a game in hand - over Pep Guardiola’s men ahead of the first league meeting between the sides this season. Mikel Arteta’s side reached the halfway point with a total of 50 points but have dropped five points in their last two games, against Everton and Brentford, leaving the door open for City to chase them down.

The two teams clashed in the FA Cup last month with City running out 1-0 winners and the reigning champions will move to the top of the table should they defeat Arsenal again this evening.

Could tonight’s encounter determine where the Premier League trophy ends up at the end of the season?

Follow all the updates from the Emirates as Arsenal take on Manchester City:

Arsenal 1-3 Man City

90 mins: There’s five minutes of added time to play. Arsenal are pushing for another goal. Bukayo Saka blazes a shot just wide of the far post before Ben White is flagged offside in another attack.

Arsenal 1-3 Man City

87 mins: Kevin de Bruyne has assisted his 12th goal this season, more than any other player in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Erling Haaland has 26 goals in the league and no-one else is close to him.

They could be propelling Man City to the title once again.

Arsenal 1-3 Man City

85 mins: Can Arsenal get another goal? There’ll be plenty of stoppage time added on so a quick fire goal now and they’re back in the game.

As it stands though Pep Guardiola’s men are heading to the top of the table. They defeated Arsenal last month and now they’re on course for another famous win at the Emirates.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-3 Man City (Haaland, 82’)⚽️

82 mins: Another one! Manchester City are heading to the top of the table!

Ilkay Gundogan brings the ball down the inside right channel and slips it into the box for Kevin De Bruyne who cuts in front of Oleksandr Zinchenko before bringing the ball under control.

He knocks it back to Erling Haaland who takes a touch and nestles it into the bottom corner!

Arsenal 1-2 Man City

78 mins: Oh my. Arsenal work the ball brilliantly down the left wing before Oleksandr Zinchenko dinks it into the penalty area for Leandro Trossard.

He knocks the ball past Kyle Walker then collides with the defender and goes down. Arsenal want a penalty but the referee doesn’t oblige and play goes on.

That was a close one.

Arsenal 1-2 Man City

75 mins: Gabriel Martinelli is hooked by Mikel Arteta and Leandro Trossard introduced for the final 15 minutes. Can he provide another spark of brilliance for the home side?

Arsenal need to find another goal from somewhere.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Man City (Grealish, 72’)⚽️

72 mins: Is that a winning goal? Man City win the ball on the right and send it through the lines to Erling Haaland. He flicks it across to Ilkay Gundogan who squares it on to Jack Grealish.

He sprints onto the ball and shoots first time. There’s a slight deflection off Takehiro Tomiyasu which does for Aaron Ramsdale and City are ahead once more!

Arsenal 1-1 Man City

68 mins: Jack Grealish wins a free kick on the left wing for Man City, high up the pitch. Kevin De Bruyne whips the set piece into box and finds Rodri.

Rodri nods it down and forces a stop out of Ramsdale. The goalkeeper makes a mess of it and the ball bobbles to Manuel Akanji who pokes one at goal only for Jorginho to clear it off the line!

Arsenal 1-1 Man City

65 mins: Close! Oh Eddie. Great move from Arsenal to work the ball from left to right. Saka sends it across to Odegaard who holds the ball up before slipping Tomiyasu into the box.

The right-back squares the ball into the six-yard area where Eddie Nketiah slides at the ball and misses a tap-in by an inch!

Arsenal 1-1 Man City

62 mins: Pep Guardiola makes the first change of the game and takes off Riyad Mahrez in order to bring on Manuel Akanji. Akanji slides into central defence with Nathan Ake moved over to left-back.

Bernardo Silva has sprinted over to take Mahrez’s vacant place on the right wing.
