Arsenal - Manchester City is always an eagerly-anticipated clash and this Sunday (start time 11:30am ET on Peacock Premium) at the Emirates Stadium will be no different.
STREAM ARSENAL - MANCHESTER CITY LIVE
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are buoyed by a big win against Leeds last weekend as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat trick, but this is a totally different test. Arteta, the former Man City assistant under Pep Guardiola, will know how to get at his old team as he did in the FA Cup last season.
As for Guardiola and City, where do we start? They have won 12 games in a row and have a 10 point lead at the top of the table, plus Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero are back fit and ready to roll. City’s playmakers and defense is looking imperious and it’s hard to see when they will drop any more points this season.

Tough to see how Arsenal can win this game, but a draw is very possible. That said, Guardiola has so many options in his squad and has rotated them expertly. City will find a piece of magic to win again. Arsenal 1-2 Manchester City.
