Arsenal have lost their last 12 Premier League games against Manchester City, scoring just five times and conceding 33 against them in that time. It is their longest ever losing run against an opponent in their league history.

Should Man City beat Arsenal, it would be the joint-longest Premier League winning run for a team against an opponent, equalling Man Utd against Wigan (13 between 2005 and 2011) and City themselves against West Brom (13 between 2012 and 2018).

Arsenal haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 16 Premier League games against Manchester City, since a 2-0 away win in January 2015. It's their longest run without a league shutout against an opponent since a run of 30 against Manchester United between 1953 and 1968.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League games (W6 D2), with no side currently on a longer such run coming into this weekend's games (Spurs also 8). However, they've kept just four clean sheets in their last 28 home league games, with 63% of their goals conceded since the start of last season coming at the Emirates Stadium (31/49). 

Having won their first six Premier League games this season, Man City lost 2-1 at Wolves last time out. They've not lost consecutive league games in almost five years, last doing so in December 2018 against Crystal Palace and Leicester.

Man City have the biggest positive difference (+83) between total shots (127) and shots faced (44) in the Premier League this season, and the biggest positive difference (+9.6) between expected goals (14.8) and expected goals against (5.2).

Arsenal are yet to lose in the Premier League this season (W5 D2), with this their longest unbeaten start to a league campaign since 2007-08, when they were unbeaten in their first 15.

Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta has beaten 23 of the 24 teams he’s faced as a manager in the Premier League, failing only against Man City, losing all seven meetings. Indeed, the Spaniard averages a minimum of at least one point-per-game against all other 23 clubs he has faced in the division.

Bukayo Saka has been involved in seven goals in his last eight Premier League games for Arsenal (5 goals, 2 assists), either scoring (3) or assisting (2) in each of his last five. Saka has also scored in each of his last two home games against Manchester City, though the Gunners have gone on to lose both times.

Erling Haaland – who was involved in four of Manchester City's seven league goals against Arsenal last season – has scored in each of his last four Premier League appearances in London. The only player to score in five in a row in the capital (for a team outside of London) is Ruud van Nistelrooy, who did so between September 2002 and September 2003.
