In the previous three matches, Arsenal lost 1-0 against Liverpool, beat Nottingham Forest by 3-0 and won 0-2 against Athletic Club. Arsenal won three of their previous six matches at Emirates Stadium in the Premier League. They drew two and suffered one defeats, scoring 13 goals to five against.

Manchester City Form

Manchester City look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Brighton, they were left empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, but they bounced back by beating Manchester United in a 3-0 win. They followed that up with a 2-0 win against SSC Napoli in their most recent outing.
