Arsenal plays host to champion Manchester City at Emirates Stadium in a meeting between last season’s top two that will be seen as an early gauge of the Londoners’ title credentials
Arsenal last won the trophy in 2004 and looked set to end its wait to lift it again by repeatedly confounding preseason expectations to lead the way from the start until the closing stages of the campaign. Eventually, though, it folded under the pressure from City to earn the distinction of having spent the longest period at the top without being crowned champions.
Arsenal lost all three of its games against Pep Guardiola’s team last season, twice in the league and once in the FA Cup. The aggregate score line was 8-2 in City’s favour. City has been even more dominant in the league, having won 12 in a row, dating back to 2017. Arsenal hasn’t beaten City in any game at the Emirates since 2015.
That is a bold ambition, given City is defending a trophy treble of the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.
