Man City vs Arsenal: Gunners face a tough trip to Pep’s Treble winners for a huge title clash – stream, TV, team news
ARSENAL return from the international break with a mammoth trip to Manchester City – and the result could be season-defining for both teams.
The Gunners sit top of the tree going into the weekend – ahead of Liverpool by goal difference and a point clear of upcoming opponents City.
And Arsenal’s recent phenomenal form is what has got them there as the Gunners have won EIGHT consecutive Premier League matches scoring 33 goals in the process.
However, Pep’s Treble winners will still be labelled as favourites to win this contest as the north London outfit haven’t beaten City at the Etihad since January 2015.
Furthermore, City are historically known for not dropping any points during the final run-in of the season.
But Mikel Arteta will be hoping his side’s dramatic penalty shoot-out Champions League win against Porto can inspire Arsenal to break this eight-year curse.

What is the team news?
Pep Guardiola has several injury concerns ahead of this huge title clash against Arsenal.
Kevin de Bruyne and Jack Grealish were left out of their respective international squads due to groin problems but both have taken part in training this week.
Captain Kyle Walker withdrew from England duties after sustaining a hamstring injury, however, the right-back is expected to be fit to participate.
But John Stones (abductor), Manuel Akanji (muscle) and Ederson (muscle) are all expected to miss out.
Elsewhere, Arsenal stars Gabriel Magalhaes and Bukayo Saka left their international camps early after picking up minor injuries.
Gabriel Martinelli is in a race against time as he looks to shake off a foot injury he received before the international break.
