The eagerly-anticipated clash between Manchester City and Arsenal in the Premier League is set to take place on Sunday evening. The game promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams look to maintain their strong positions at the top of the table.

The opening whistle will see the two sides go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium, with both teams looking to secure maximum points in what has become one of the most closely-contested league races this season.

Manchester City have been in excellent form since the start of the season, having won all seven of their previous games, including a stunning victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final last week. They sit just two points behind leaders Chelsea, who also play on Sunday night, but could lose ground if they fail to win against Arsenal.

On the other hand, Arsenal are coming off a disappointing defeat against Everton, which saw them drop to third place in the table. However, they have still managed to pick up four wins from their previous five games, and will be keen to bounce back after their loss to Everton.

Both teams will be looking to make a statement in front of their home fans, and it's expected that there will be plenty of attacking football on display. With both teams being defensively solid, there could be some defensive battles to come as well.

Overall, this is shaping up to be a fascinating clash between two of the Premier League's top sides. Fans can expect to witness a high-scoring game with both teams looking to leave the Etihad Stadium with three points.
