Premier League Match: Manchester City vs Arsenal

Manchester City will be facing Arsenal in a crucial Premier League showdown at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, with both teams aiming for a win.

Pep Guardiola’s side is gearing up for a tough run of fixtures after the final international break of the season, starting with a match against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.

City is competing on multiple fronts this season, with a Premier League title battle against Arsenal and Liverpool, an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea, and a UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid all lined up for April.

Injuries to Kyle Walker and John Stones have added to the challenge for City, but the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Manuel Akanji, and Matheus Nunes are expected to be fit for the game against Arsenal.
