In perhaps the most significant match that will be played in the Premier League this season, Manchester City welcome Arsenal to the Etihad Stadium knowing a win would make them overwhelming favorites to be crowned champions for a third year in a row. City currently trail the league leaders by five points but have two games in hand, however, the fact that the top two must face off again at this late stage of the season means we are in a strange situation where the title is in both teams’ hands. A win for either would change the complexion of their season.
History certainly makes one of these two heavy favorites. Pep Guardiola has won all six of his home Premier League games against the Gunners by an aggregate score of 17-3 and his side have won their last 11 league matches against this particular opponent. Twice this season they have met and twice City have won. However, Arsenal might just be willing to take those two defeats if it means winning the big one. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know:
