Coach: Pep Guardiola
Statements - Mikel Arteta (Arsenal Coach)
"I don't want to go through that [another humiliating defeat] again because afterwards we knew it was going to be very difficult, something we fought for for many months. It was also a different time."
"They've earned the right to be the favorites. for seven or eight years with what they've done. Everybody who thinks they can do it again, they haven't given anybody else any reason to think they can't do it, so we have to give them the reasons."
"We haven't done it, so we can't expect to be talked about like City or Liverpool at the moment because we haven't done it."
"We have to do what we feel and what the team needs and try to shape it. They have the best possible mentality, they are convinced and have the feeling that they can beat any opponent. To do that we can use different tools."
"This season has been very good. To be in contention for the three important titles now, we have done an incredible job."
"Now it's the last 10 games of the Premier League, we start an important period. We play against the Premier League leaders and I'm sure the people [City fans] will give us what we need to perform at our best."
Statements - Pep Guardiola (Manchester City Coach)
"The quality Liverpool have, Arsenal also to win I don't know how many games in a row, score a lot of goals, the quality they play with, so I don't think they will drop a lot of points. I know my team when it comes to the end, they do everything, they [Arsenal and Liverpool] will do it too. That's why this game is absolutely the final."
"What you've done in the past in the sport doesn't matter. The past is the past. What matters now is Arsenal and then Aston Villa. You won't beat them if you think about the past and what you have done before."
"Of course it's important what we have done before, but I didn't expect to get to where we are now. But after more than 20 years, Arsenal haven't won the Premier League, so they will have something to prove and that's normal. When Liverpool won the title after many years [in 2020], that gives you something special."
"In our first year, it was like, 'Oh God, we'll give everything in every game to win the Premier League,' but what we have to do is be ourselves."

Manchester City vs Arsenal history
These two teams have met 210 times. The statistics are in favor of Arsenal, who have come out victorious on 99 occasions, while Manchester City have won on 65 occasions, leaving a balance of 46 draws.
In the Premier League...
Referring only to the times they have faced each other in the Premier League, we count 177 duels, where the numbers are in favor of Arsenal with 84 wins, while Manchester City has won 51, for a balance of 42 draws.
If we take into account the number of times Manchester City have played Arsenal at home in the Premier League, there are 88 matches, where the citizens have the advantage with 34 wins over the 33 that the Gunners have won, and the 21 draws that have taken place.
Arsenal
Arsenal come into this match boasting great numbers, as the team with the best attack (70 goals scored) and defense (24 goals conceded) in the Premier League thus far. Their recent positive run has helped cultivate those numbers, as they have scored 13 goals in their last four games, where they've picked up wins.
As for the fight for the lead, Arsenal has a slight advantage thanks to the goal difference, which makes it come to this match as the leader of the table. Something that fuels the duel is the clash between Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola, which favors the citizen coach in 12 matches with nine wins.
Arsenal also suffers from injuries. In addition to Saka, Gabriel Martinelli is also not initially confirmed due to a foot injury. Despite having played recently, Gabriel Jesus and midfielder Thomas Partey are also doubtful for the match.
Manchester City
Manchester City, reigning champions, continue in the fight for the Premier League leadership. However, it is not the only front, because they also have the FA Cup and the Champions League between their eyes, so in this game they will try to get a result that, in some way, will help them to settle the race for the title.
Despite going on a positive run, they face a number of absentees in their squad, having lost Kevin de Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish for a period of time and after the two-week break, Kyle Walker and John Stones returned with knocks, joining Ederson.
However, the statistics invite them to dream of a victory, as they have gone nine games unbeaten at the Etihad Stadium against the Gunners and will want to sustain this good run.
The match will be played at the Etihad Stadium
The Manchester City vs Arsenal match will be played at the Etihad Stadium, located in the city of Manchester, England. This venue, inaugurated in 2002, has a capacity for 55,097 spectators.
