After the Gunners’ comeback in the 2022–23 season, Manchester City and Arsenal have grown into formidable rivals in the Premier League.
The championship opponent’s experience and squad depth helped them reach the finish line. Mikel Arteta, a former assistant to Pep Guardiola at City, helped guide his team to the top of the standings for much of the season.
In the major games, Arsenal still finds it difficult to defeat Manchester City head-to-head. Let’s review the last time the Gunners defeated the Citizens in the league itself prior to their matchup on Sunday.
Between their most recent game and the last time they really defeated Man City in the league, Arsenal did defeat them twice in the FA Cup, but they haven’t triumphed against the perennial title favourites in the Premier League since December 21, 2015.
Yes, that means that it has been almost eight years since Arsenal last defeated Manchester City in league play.
