Manchester City hosts Arsenal in the Premier League in a match with title race implications so early in the season.
Both sides come into the match having drawn their opening Champions League fixtures to Serie A teams. Inter Milan and Atalanta held City and Arsenal to goalless draws respectively. City is perfect in the Premier League through four games on 12 points while Arsenal is unbeaten having only dropped points to Brighton & Hove Albion in a 1-1 draw.
The last time these two teams met both sides failed to score in a tense match. Arsenal's William Saliba and Gabriel defended well to keep Erling Haaland and company off the scoresheet. The draw ended up not being enough to get Arsenal the Premier League trophy. There's a feeling that Arsenal need to get the job done this time around at the Etihad Stadium, a ground Mikel Arteta has yet to win at as Arsenal manager.
For Pep Guardiola's side, it's a chance to put some early distance between himself and his former assistant.
