The title contenders in the past two Premier League campaigns go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday (4.30pm UK), as we aim to maintain our good recent record against the four-time defending champions.
Last season saw us triumph in the Community Shield before claiming a home win and a draw on our previous visit to the blue half of Manchester, as we continue to close the gap on Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering side.
Neither side has tasted defeat in the Premier League in 2024 to further underline their statuses as the best two teams in the country, and while the latest instalment of our rivalry won’t decide the destination of the trophy, victory would prove to be a huge early-season scalp for either Guardiola or Mikel Arteta.
