Manchester City have only won ONE of their last nine games against Arsenal… but the Gunners have only tasted victory ONCE in their last 17 games away to “Big Six”

ARSENAL take a trip north to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City in a massive showdown on Sunday.

On paper, Pep Guardiola's steamrolling attacking ranks look dead-set to keep their white-hot form rolling on.

So far this season, City have won nine of their ten Premier League games, scoring 35 times in the process.

They've also reached the Champions League knockout stages after just four games.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have limped into fifth, following three defeats in their first ten games, for nine points.

So, it looks like a simple win for Guardiola's men then?

Well, before you go and stick a tenner on a home victory, consider this...

Man City have only won ONE of their last nine games against Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.

Incredibly, the Etihad side have struggled historically in this fixture, losing four and drawing another four.

Most recently Guardiola and Co stumbled in the FA Cup semi-final, losing 2-1 after extra-time at Wembley.

Then again, Arsenal have won only ONE of their last 17 games away to the "Big Six".

That run, stretching back to the start of 2014-15, has seen the Gunners lose nine and draw seven against City, Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham combined.

Incredibly, Arsenal's key man could be forgotten forward Theo Walcott, who has scored more goals at the Etihad than any other Gunners star with three.

However, a run-out looks unlikely, having featured in just 46 minutes of Premier League action this term...

Arsenal meanwhile will need to stop Leroy Sane in his tracks - as the flying German wingers has been involved in more goals this season than any other Prem star.

His six goals and five assists have seen him be involved in nearly a third of all City's Premier League strikes this season.

Elsewhere, Sergio Aguero will take some stopping too, having scored five times in his last seven games against Arsenal.
