Manchester City vs Arsenal preview: Live stream, date, head to head, how to watch, team news, predicted lineups and moreThe FA Cup fourth round kicks off this weekend in the best way possible, with a clash between the two best sides in the Premier League this season, Arsenal and Manchester City. We can reveal where you can watch this match, the latest team news and more. Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta’s sides have yet to meet in the Premier League this season due to congestion caused by the death of Queen Elizabeth and the World Cup, so this will give us a sneak peek of what we might see as the title races heats up in the coming weeks and months. Both managers have won the world’s oldest cup competition, with Guardiola’s City spectacularly defeating Watford 5-0 in 2019, while Arteta picked up his first silverware as a manager in the following year’s showpiece with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea. Arteta was of course Pep’s assistant at City prior to joining the Gunners and was next to him in that 2019 final (which completed a domestic treble), while he defeated his mentor in the semi-final en route to his own success.

Arsenal fans’ major Mancunian issue has always been with United. City’s rise to the top also coincided with Arsenal’s fall from title contention. This season has changed things however and with the managers so intricately linked and alike, it might see the full ignition of a true rivalry. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – JANUARY 09: Oleksandr Zinchenko of Manchester City (35) celebrates as he scores his team’s fourth goal with Gabriel Jesus (33) during the Carabao Cup Semi Final First Leg match between Manchester City and Burton Albion at Etihad Stadium on January 9, 2019 in Manchester, United Kingdom. (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) The clubs’ recent history has largely been a case of being partners in the transfer market, with numerous players joining City from Arsenal in the Premier League era, notably David Seaman, Samir Nasir, Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Adebayor, Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna.
Patrick Vieira and Nicolas Anelka also pitched up on the blue side of Manchester but not direct from North London. Last summer saw a reverse of this with Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko moving from the Etihad to the Emirates (if ever the Gulf region’s influence on football was symbolised). Their arrivals have seen Arsenal step up several levels, and a Gunners title win for their former players and assistant would be a source of embarrassment for both City and Pep Guardiola. Head-to-Head Record The clubs have met on 205 occasions, with their first meeting taking place in 1893 when City was known as Ardwick and the Gunners were Woolwich Arsenal.
