Arsenal vs Manchester City

Arsenal have gone unbeaten in 14 consecutive Premier League games (W9 D5) for the first time since December 2018 under Unai Emery (also a run of 14).

Manchester City have conceded 4+ goals in a game for the fourth time this season, which is now the most times in a single campaign in Pep Guardiola's managerial career. The Citizens have conceded 53 goals in 36 games in all competitions so far this season, only one fewer than in 59 matches last season (54).

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta lost nine of his first 10 managerial meetings with Pep Guardiola (W1) but after today’s win, he has become only the third manager to go five games unbeaten in all competitions against the Spaniard (W2 D3), after Thomas Tuchel (2016-2021) and Jürgen Klopp (2021-2022).

Arsenal won this exact fixture 1-0 last season – they last won consecutive home league games against Man City between 2005-06 and 2008-09 (a run of four).

Having won 12 consecutive league games against Arsenal between 2017 and 2023, Manchester City are now winless in their last three against the Gunners (D2 L1).

Arsenal are unbeaten in 13 Premier League matches (W8 D5) and have won the most points of any side from MD11 onwards (29). The Gunners have never had a longer unbeaten run under Mikel Arteta, last going 14 without defeat between August and December 2018 under Unai Emery.

Manchester City are unbeaten in six Premier League games (W4 D2) and only Newcastle (15) have won more points since Christmas than City (14), while City have scored the most goals in that time (18).

Manchester City have lost just one of their last 40 Premier League matches played from January until the end of the campaign (W33 D6), losing 1-0 to Brentford on the final day of 2022-23. They are unbeaten in their last 23 of these games across the last two campaigns (W19 D4), scoring 66 goals at an average of 2.9 per game.
