Premier League: Arsenal Seek First Double On City In 16 Years
By Eze Dike
Arsenal make a trip to Manchester to face defending champions Manchester City in what is a top-of-the-table clash in an intense three-way Premier League title race.
The Gunners became just the fourth team to win each of their first eight Premier League games of a calendar year when they beat Brentford in early March – the previous three clubs to do that all went on to win the title.
The Gunners’ record against City in the Premier League is, however, dire with 12 defeats in their past 13 games. Their lone victory came at the Emirates in October, courtesy of Gabriel Martinelli’s deflected strike.
Arteta’s men look a more battle-hardened force than last year, when they stumbled at the end of the season, opening the door for City to cruise past to a third straight title.
Repeating the feat at the Etihad is a different order of magnitude. City are unbeaten in their last 38 home games in all competitions. Brentford were the last visiting team to leave with a win and that was in November 2022. If Arsenal do manage to complete their first league double over City since 2007/08, it could be the boost they need to get them over the line.
