Talking Tactics: Man City v Arsenal

There's no apparent stopping City's goal-machine Erling Haaland, and former Cityzen Shaun Wright-Phillips explains how the Norwegian forward can exploit Arsenal's defence.

Relive a memorable season so far

As title races go, this is shaping up to be a memorable one as Man City continue to close in on what was an eight-point Arsenal lead in April.

Whatever happens, and with so much riding on the result, this return match promises to be an epic Etihad Stadium encounter.
