Watch Man City vs Arsenal live streams as the Premier League's top two clash at the Etihad in what is a potential title decider on Sunday. With a win, Mikel Arteta's Gunners become huge favorites to end their 22-year title drought, but a City victory would move Pep Guardiola's side to within three points of the North Londoners, with a game in hand.

For much of 2025/26, Man City have been a long way from their best. But as we come to the business end of the campaign, there are signs they are clicking into top gear. They beat Arsenal to lift the Carabao Cup and secured a thumping 3-0 win over Chelsea last time out. That means City have now won 29 of their past 32 matches in the month of April, last suffering a loss five years ago. Guardiola will be desperate to ensure this remarkable run continues to crank up the pressure.

Talk of an unprecedented quadruple a few weeks ago now leaves just two trophy options for Arsenal after that League Cup final loss, FA Cup elimination to second-tier Southampton and last weekend's 2-1 defeat by Bournemouth. Nevertheless, the Gunners booked their place in the Champions League semifinals in midweek, albeit with a far-from-convincing performance against Sporting Lisbon. Now, Arteta will hope his side can extend their six-game unbeaten against City — even a draw means they head back to North London having protected their six-point lead.

Nico O'Reilly, whose brace won the Carabao Cup for City, should be fit after coming off last weekend against Chelsea, while for Arsenal Bukayo Saka is racing against time to make the squad.

So, read on as we show you how to watch Man City vs Arsenal in the 2025/26 Premier League.
