Head-to-heat
Manchester City won 12 consecutive Premier League games against Arsenal between 2017 and 2023 but are winless in the subsequent three meetings (D2, L1).
The Gunners are vying to record back-to-back home league wins against City for the first time since a run of four victories between October 2005 and April 2009.
Arsenal
Arsenal can extend their unbeaten run to 14 Premier League games, which would be their best run under Mikel Arteta. They last went 14 top-flight games undefeated between August and December 2018 when Unai Emery was in charge.
Last weekend's 1-0 win at Molineux means Arsenal have the chance to claim successive clean sheets in the top flight for the first time since August.
The Londoners have scored a league-high 12 set-piece goals this season (excluding penalties), while five of their last 10 goals versus City have come via corners.
The Gunners have received 19 Premier League red cards since Arteta's first game in December 2019, more than any other side in that time.
