Man City vs Arsenal: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, lineups, h2h results, odds today

Arsenal will be hoping to avoid a record ninth successive Premier League defeat by Manchester City today.

The Gunners were beaten by newly-promoted Brentford on the opening night of the campaign and then found themselves outclassed by Chelsea at the Emirates last Sunday to start the 2021/22 season with successive defeats.

A visit to the champions looks like another tough ask but Mikel Arteta’s side can at least be buoyed by a 6-0 thumping of a young West Brom side in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

City have already come unstuck against north London opposition once this season, losing 1-0 at Tottenham in their opener, but they responded by hammering Norwich last weekend.
