Arsenal vs. Man City this Sunday is (allegedly) a title bout, though the Citizens have won the last 12 Premier League matches between this two. Arsenal haven't beaten City in the league since December 2015, when Manuel Pellegrini was managing the Sky Blues.
Mikel Arteta was student to Pep Guardiola across three seasons as an assistant coach at City, but while he's enjoyed a few cup wins, he's struggled to match the master in the league. When these two get together, you can expect technical quality and some wacky tactical maneuvers.
