Start of match
-
PRVWMan City and Arsenal players kneel to show that black lives matter.
-
PRVWIt's absolutely pouring down in Manchester. Wonder if the conditions will affect anything.
-
PRVWWe are also paying respect to City legend Glyn Pardoe.
-
PRVWMinute silence for those who have sadly passed away because of the coronavirus.
-
PRVWTeams are out.
-
PRVWAlmost time now.
-
PRVWGuess who's back.
-
PRVWNow that I have rattled a few stats, who do we think is going to win?
-
PRVWArsenal haven't won an away league match since 9th December.
-
PRVWIt's Arsenal's first competitive match since a 1-0 win over West Ham on 7th March. City last played against Manchester United on 8th March. It's Man City's first home game in just under 4 months.
-
PRVWArsenal haven't beaten City in the league since 2015. The last time there were less than two goals in this fixture was 2012, so there should (hopefully) be goals.
-
PRVWArsenal will also want to win to keep their European hopes alive.
-
PRVWI'm very excited to be back covering Premier League matches. I wonder what this game has in store for us. Liverpool will have an eye on this as if Manchester City lose, Liverpool can win the league at the weekend against Everton.
-
PRVWEderson plays his 100th Premier League match tonight.
-
PRVWThe big news is perhaps that Luiz and Lacazette are on the bench for Arsenal, with Fernandinho, Rodri, and Aguero also on the bench. Sané is back on the bench for the hosts.
-
PRVWArsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Mari, Tierney, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Willock, Saka, Aubameyang, Nketiah
-
PRVWMan City XI: Ederson, Walker, E Garcia, Laporte, Mendy, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Silva, Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling
