Arsenal vs Manchester City Premier League Preview Stats Pack

When the two sides met at the end of September it would have seemed impossible that both teams would be sitting in their current position. It was in the that game that Rodri picked up his ACL injury and Arsenal picked up a controversial red card for Leandro Trossard kicking the ball away. 

Both sides have progressed in the Champions League however Manchester City have only managed to reach the playoffs where they will face Real Madrid. Arsenal have qualified automatically for the last 16. 

A result for either team will be crucial for their goals heading forward. Depending on the result between Bournemouth and Liverpool, Arsenal could be nine points behind the leaders. Man City have managed to bring the gap between the two teams down to six points. A win would bring them within touching distance of second in the league.
