Manchester City vs Arsenal Live: Results and goal updates from the Premier League match starting with Bukayo Saka and Kevin De Bruyne
Arsenal will ensure Manchester City give 'our best' – Guardiola

Manchester City hosts Arsenal in a Premier League match that has major implications for the fate of this season's title.

City and Arsenal are locked in a titanic battle with Liverpool to be champions in what will become one of the greatest title races, and this is the final match between the three champions.

It sees Mikel Arteta take on the manager who taught him a lot during his time as coach at City before leaving for the Arsenal job. Arteta has turned the Gunners into contenders and a run of eight straight wins has propelled them to the top of the table.

But City have beaten Arsenal at home for the past eight years in a row, and a ninth successive win at the Etihad Stadium would be a major blow to Arteta's dream of bringing a first league title to north London in two decades.
