Live stream Man City vs Arsenal propose a possible Premier League title decider to 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, despite having played a game more than City, but the feeling of déjà vu looms larger with each passing week.
The same approach backfired spectacularly in last month’s Carabao Cup final, a match many interpreted as a prophecy of things to come. Nico O’Reilly scored twice in a 2-0 victory, but more than anything it was the insipid manner of the defeat that had Arsenal fans on edge – the twin anxiety in the stands and on the pitch forging a familiar cycle of doom – and ignited Pep Guardiola’s hopes.
Man City’s disastrous Champions League campaign has at least given Guardiola a week of preparation, time on the training pitch which he probably needed given Erling Haaland’s prolonged malaise. After scoring 19 in his first 17 league matches this season, the Norwegian has now managed just three in his last 13. Aside from Antoine Semenyo and O’Reilly, few others contribute consistently.
The emergence of Max Dowman has been hugely positive for Arsenal, although the outsized contribution from a 16-year-old highlights 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. Meanwhile, a series of high-profile errors from Ben White undermined Arsenal’s previously rock-solid defense.
However, Arteta opted to mix Eze and White together for today’s clash. He also dropped Viktor Gyokeres in favor of Kai Havertz.
