    The last time the two sides met was on April 26th, 2023, when Guardiola's team gave the Emirates Stadium side a 4-1 drubbing.

    There could be concern about City's ability to stay hungry for titles after the Sky Blues won the treble last season, but Ruben Dias is clear: "Even though this team has won a lot in the past few seasons, we are still hungry and we are still here to win again and again."

    "In the end, it will be about playing better and earning the right to win every match. We made some important signings, like other teams are doing, but when you are Arsenal, you have to handle that," said Arteta ahead of the clash against the Cityzens.
