Arsenal vs Man City LIVE: Premier League latest score and updates as Erling Haaland scores at the death

Mikel Arteta’s team face Pep Guardiola’s in an encounter that could determine who wins the Premier League title

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?

Arsenal vs Man City prediction

This very much depends on which teams will turn up: those of the past six months, or those of the past few days? Arsenal have suffered a loss of form and were below their best against Everton and Brentford, but Mikel Arteta’s side have been better than City over the course of the season.

That said, City looked sharp as they raced into a three-goal lead against Aston Villa, seemingly fired up by being charged by the Premier League. They now have the Gunners in their sights, but Arsenal will surely respond. It’s almost too close to call.

Arsenal 1-1 Manchester City.

What is the early team news?

Leandro Trossard could start for Arsenal after scoring from the bench against Brentford on Saturday. Gabriel Martinelli could drop out, while Gabriel Jesus remains unavailable due to injury and will not be fit to face his former club.

Erling Haaland will undergo a fitness test to determine if he can face Arsenal, after the striker picked up a knock in the win against Aston Villa. Phil Foden returned from the bench on Sunday and is fit again, but John Stones remains out.

Arsenal vs Manchester City

Hello and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of Arsenal versus Manchester City where the two teams go to-to-toe in a clash at the top of the Premier League table.

This fixture is a rearranged one and will be the first league meeting between the sides this year. The title rivals have already met once with Man City defeating Arsenal 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium in the FA Cup last month.

Arsenal started the season in fantastic form and managed to collect 50 points by the halfway stage but they’ve struggled in recent times. A 1-1 draw with Brentford and a 1-0 loss to Everton in their last two fixtures has seen the Gunners drop five points, opening the door for City to catch them.

Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions will move to the top of the table should they defeat Arsenal and collect all three points tonight. They currently trail the leaders by three but Mikel Arteta’s side do still have a game in hand. Regardless, a City victory would make the title race a close and tense affair - something Arteta will be hoping to avoid.

The match will be broadcast on Amazon Prime Video and kick off begins at 7.30pm.
