The Man City vs Arsenal live streams serve up a potential Premier League title decider at the Eithad this afternoon. Mikel Arteta’s men control their own destiny, at least in theory. They are six points clear at the top of the table, although they have played a game more than City, but the feeling of déjà vu looms larger every week.
The same approach backfired spectacularly in last month’s Carabao Cup final, a game many have interpreted as a prophecy of things to come. Nico O’Reilly scored twice in a 2-0 win, but more than anything else it was the silly manner of the defeat that has put Arsenal fans on edge – the twin anxieties in the stands and on the pitch creating a familiar cycle of doom – and fueled Pep Guardiola’s hopes.
Man City’s disastrous Champions League campaign at least gave Guardiola a week’s preparation time, time on the training ground he likely needed given Erling Haaland’s prolonged illness. After scoring 19 in his first 17 league games this season, the Norwegian has now managed just three in his last 13. Apart from Antoine Semenyo and O’Reilly, few others feature on a consistent basis.
The emergence of Max Dowman has been a huge positive for Arsenal, although the big contribution of a 16-year-old serves to highlight the team’s attacking poverty. There are few players in Europe more singularly destructive than Eberechi Eze, who incidentally also has an excellent record against Man City, but he has been peripheral in red. A flurry of high-profile mistakes from Ben White, meanwhile, have undermined Arsenal’s previously rock-solid back line.
However, Arteta has chosen to mix Eze in and White out for today’s clash. He has also dropped Viktor Gyokeres in favor of Kai Havertz.
