Manchester City host Arsenal in a potentially decisive game in the Premier League title race on Sunday April 19, live on Sky Sports.
The top two in the Premier League table meet at the Etihad Stadium with Arsenal holding a six-point lead over Man City, who have a game in hand on the table toppers.
Man City beat Arsenal 2-0 in last month’s Carabao Cup final, while they comfortably beat Chelsea 3-0 last weekend after dropping points in draws with West Ham and Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal suffered a shock 2-1 loss at home to Bournemouth last weekend to allow Man City to reduce their lead, but did reach the Champions League semi-finals in midweek.
The previous league meeting between the two sides this season saw Arsenal and Man City draw 1-1 at the Emirates Stadium in September before City’s Wembley victory in March.

Man City vs Arsenal odds and score prediction
Sky Sports’ Lewis Jones…
A monster match. And one where backing the bet no one wants to back is the shrewd move. I’m all over the draw here at 13/5 with Sky Bet.
Arsenal’s problems are clear – they have scored just three goals in last five games. Man City scored three goals in 17 minutes at Chelsea last weekend.
The Gunners’ attacking process has completely gone to pot, their frontline are in such stale form.
One of the biggest factors in all of this is the absence of Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka. The difference in output when Odegaard and Saka both play to when at least one of them is missing is stark. Since the start of last season, Arsenal’s goals per game drops from 2.1 to 1.3 without both Saka and Odegaard starting and their expected goals per game goes the same way too, nosediving from 1.9 to 1.3.
Mikel Arteta would snap your hand off for a draw right now.
Arsenal have to play to their strengths and that is their world-class defensive unit without the ball. Do what you’re good at. Arsenal should be trying to shut this game down, make it hard for City to score and win set-pieces.
They will come for the draw and at the prices, I’m happy to back them to get it.
Score prediction: 1-1
