Man City vs. Arsenal Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 212
Man City wins: 65
Draws: 47
Arsenal wins: 100

The inaugural battle between Arsenal - then prefixed with Woolwich - and Manchester City, formerly known as Ardwick, in 1893 marked the first of 212 showdowns between the Citizens and the Gunners, who lead the way with a century of wins against the English champions, hitting that three-figure mark in an Emirates encounter in October 2023 thanks to a deflected Gabriel Martinelli strike.

Victory number 99 had come Arsenal's way just a few months beforehand in the 2023 Community Shield as they held their nerve from the penalty spot, thereby ending an eight-game losing streak against Guardiola's men since another smash-and-grab Wembley success behind closed doors in the 2019-20 FA Cup semi-finals.

Goalmouth action was sparse in Easter Sunday's Etihad battle in 2024, though, where Arsenal were happy to settle for a goalless stalemate, ending their streak of embarrassment after embarrassment on Man City's territory in the process.

The Gunners had previously lost seven Premier League ties in a row against the Citizens on Manchester turf, but they would be left to lament not going gung-ho for all of the spoils, losing the 2023-24 top-flight crown to Man City by a mere two points.

City's aforementioned eight-game winning sequence took them up to 65 triumphs over Arsenal in their history, and even though the Citizens remain unbreakable on their own territory, they needed a late John Stones goal to save their bacon in an absorbing 2-2 draw in September 2024.

Across their last four top-flight showdowns at the Etihad, Man City have made the net bulge 11 times while conceding just three themselves - to three defenders in Rob Holding, Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori - and it has been nine years since Arsenal emerged victorious on the Sky Blues' soil.

On that occasion, the silky Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud propelled Arsene Wenger's charges to a two-goal victory, but they were just seconds away from a hoodoo-ending win with 10 men at the start of the 2024-25 season, only for Stones to score City's latest Premier League equaliser on record.
