Match Facts

  • Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League home games against Arsenal (W7 D3) since a 2-0 loss in January 2015 under Manuel Pellegrini.

  • Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games against Man City (W2 D3), having lost 12 in a row against them before this.

  • For months with at least 10 games played, April is Manchester City’s best under Pep Guardiola in terms of points-per-game (2.51) and win rate (79.5%). Meanwhile, it’s the worst month for both of those for Arsenal under Mikel Arteta (1.54 PPG, 42.3% win rate).

  • This is the latest into a season (MD33) Manchester City are facing the league leaders since April 2012, when they beat Manchester United 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium on MD36 en route to winning their first ever Premier League title.

  • Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 14 Premier League home games, since losing 2-0 against Spurs in their opening match at the Etihad this term. They’ve netted at least twice in 12 of these 14 games.

  • Arsenal have lost their last three matches in domestic competition, against Man City in the EFL Cup final, Southampton in the FA Cup, and Bournemouth in the Premier League. They last lost four consecutively in February/March 2018, which included defeats to Man City in the EFL Cup final and Premier League.

  • Since the turn of the year, Arsenal players have made 15 errors that have led to a shot in their 13 Premier League games, almost twice as many as they made in their 19 games between August and December (8).

  • Since the start of February, no Manchester City player has scored more goals in all competitions than Nico O’Reilly (6), who netted both goals in their 2-0 EFL Cup final win over Arsenal last month.

  • Man City’s Rayan Cherki is averaging an assist every 138 minutes in the Premier League this season (10 assists in 1,384 minutes). Of players to play 1,000+ minutes in a single campaign, only Cesc Fàbregas in 2016-17 (111) and Kevin De Bruyne in 2023-24 (123) have had a better average.

  • Arsenal’s Eberechi Eze has either scored (2) or assisted (1) a goal in each of his last three appearances against Manchester City in all competitions, setting up Gabriel Martinelli’s 90th-minute equaliser in the reverse fixture.
