One of the most high profile and eye catching games of the entire season will see title rivals Manchester City and Arsenal go toe to toe at the iconic Etihad Stadium during the 2025/26 Premier League season.

A victory for Pep Guardiola’s City against Mikel Arteta’s Gunners in the heart of the City of Manchester would most certainly be a statement victory for the Cityzens, who are looking for all three points in order to take a step closer to realising their ambitions for the campaign, which is to regain the title. This would also be a statement victory for Pep and his side.

The current Head Coach of Manchester City Football Club is of course the aforementioned Pep Guardiola, with the Spaniard having been in charge ever since he took over from his predecessor Manuel Pellegrini ahead of the start of the 2016/17 season. The announcement of his arrival had actually taken place back on Monday 1st February 2016, with Pellegrini seeing out the remainder of the 2015/16 campaign as Head Coach before Pep’s arrival.

The 2024/25 season was the most recent full campaign with Guardiola in charge, and they were the reigning Champions of England as they looked to get their hands on the title yet again, doing so for a 7th time. However, they were unfortunately to miss out on glory after a third place finish after earning a grand total of no less than 71 points from their 38 games, losing out to Arne Slot and Liverpool on 84 points in all.

Arsenal were the team that finished as runners-up in second place after they finished with just 3 more points than City on 74 overall, in total.

Over the course of his trophy laden career in charge of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has won 18 trophies so far. This includes 6 Premier League titles (2017/18, 2018/19, 2020/21, 2021/22/ 2022/23 & 2023/24), 2 FA Cups (2018/19 & 2022/23), 4 Carabao Cup titles (2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20 & 2020/21), 3 FA Community Shield titles (2018, 2019 & 2024), 1 UEFA Champions League title (2022/23), 1 UEFA Super Cup title (2023), and finally 1 FIFA Club World Cup (2023).

Moving on to Arsenal, their Head Coach is fellow Spaniard Mikel Arteta, who has been in charge ever since he became Unai Emery’s permanent successor at the Emirates Stadium all the way back on Friday 20th December 2019. Over the last three seasons in a row, his Gunners side have finished as runners-up in second place to both Manchester City and most recently Liverpool.

This season, City will be looking to not only finish ahead of the Gunners but once again this season, they are looking to beat the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool in the race for the 2025/26 Premier League title.

Overall, Manchester City and Arsenal have met competitively in all competitions on no less than 213 occasions, and it is currently the Gunners who do have the superior record of 101 victories, whilst City so far have 65 wins to their name against their North London counterparts. There have also been as many as 47 draws between these two title rivals to date, as of the time of writing.
