This top-of-the-table clash will be ever more important as just two points separate both.
The Premier League returns with a top-of-the-table clash between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad. The defending champions will host Arsenal in their fifth league game of the season with the hope to get their fifth win on the trot. The Cityzens were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw in their Champions League opener against Inter Milan and will be keen to bounce back to winning ways over the weekend.
Arsenal on the other hand also played out a 0-0 draw against Atalanta in their opening game of the Champions League. The Gunners have also had a solid start to their season winning three of their opening four games. They are sitting right below the league leaders with 10 points to their name. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can go the distance against City and get to the top of the table.

Players to watch
Jack Grealish (Manchester City)
The England international is one of City’s top players up front. He fuels City’s high-profile attacking lineup with quality and pin-point deliveries from the left flank. His vision coupled with his playmaking and ball distribution abilities make him an undisputed starter for Pep Guardiola‘s team. The 29-year-old will be keen to open his account for the season against Arsenal.
Kai Havertz (Arsenal)
Kai Havertz will need to stand up to the occasion and bring his best game to the table in this high voltage clash. The German international is Arsenal’s highest goal contributor in the league this season with two goals and an assist. He has a magical left foot and can turn the game on its head on his day. Expect him to be one of Arsenal’s top performers in the clash against City.
