Arsenal and Manchester City meet at the Emirates Stadium in the latest instalment of their simmering Premier League rivalry.
In the 213 head-to-head matches between these two sides, Arsenal have come out on top with 101 victories as opposed to City, who have only beaten the Gunners on 65 occasions.
Last season saw two heated contests between the sides, the first of which saw Rodri suffer his serious knee injury and John Stones equalise in added time - the second saw the Gunners hammer City 5-1 in the biggest league loss of Pep Guardiola's career.
Both trail Liverpool in the early season table, with questions aplenty around their title-challenging credentials. City's rout of United in the derby last weekend helped their case, while Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest and Athletic Club in convincing fashion. A loss for either here, though, would be a huge blow.
