Manchester City vs Arsenal: Head-to-head record
The clubs have shared some good encounters over the years.
The race for the Premier League has become much more intense now. Over the past few seasons, we have seen Pep Guardiola and his former assistant Mikel Arteta push each other to the limits for the coveted Premier League title. The Cityzens, however, have ended with the league title on all occasions.
Once again, we see Arteta pushing the accelerator for the title in the 2025-26 season. When it comes to head-to-head between these two clubs, Arsenal lead the race with more wins. But under Pep’s guidance, Manchester City have given a really tough time to Arsenal and have often dominated them.
Man City and Arsenal will be facing each other in their next EFL Cup final match. The match will decide whether City show who the boss is or the Gunners will further show dominance. Previously, they just faced each other in the month of September, 2025, in a Premier League clash which saw both teams settle for a 1-1 draw.
Since then, Arsenal have played many games and are now nine points ahead of Guardiola’s men. Their recent match against City was in the 2025-26 EFL Cup final, and the Gunners lost 2-0.
