Manchester City vs Arsenal live stream: Watch Premier League online
By Josh Sippie
It’s the biggest match of the Premier League season for Manchester City and Arsenal. Here is all you need to know and how to watch.
Arsenal has had a nice, consistent streak of relative success, throwing out Watford. They sit level for points with Chelsea and are within striking distance of the Champions League spot that evaded them for the first time in twenty years last season.

And it all comes down to this. Manchester City, a team that has proven that defense isn’t really that important if you just attack them so hard that they crap themselves, is waiting. And they are at their sparsely populated fortress, the Etihad.
It’s the biggest game of the season. The Citizens have yet to feast on defeat, although they have licked it at least once, and for lack of a better word, they look immortal. And we just can’t have that.

Not just that, but if Arsenal can come away from here with a result, maybe people can finally shut up and be happy. Wouldn’t that be nice?
It won’t be easy, needless to say. The Gunners look to be without Sead Kolasinac, who is quite literally their most important player. Who takes his spot is an utter mystery, but none of the options radiate quite like the Bosnian hulk does. Which already puts the Gunners behind the eight-ball. Couple that with Shkodran Mustafi‘s prolonged absence, and the defense is going to find it harder than they were already going to.
But this game isn’t so much about defending as it is attacking. And if the Gunners can pierce a shaky City defense, than all we have to worry about is matching them slap for slap.
On the City side of the ball, they will still be without Benjamin Mendy and Vincent Kompany. Mendy is a big loss, obviously, and is being filled by Fabian Delph, which could be another soft spot, but in the injury department, it’s the Gunners that take home the win. Go figure.
