Today's the day for Man City vs Arsenal live streams, and we've got all the ways you can watch the big Premier League return match covered! Not only is this going to be fun because the game has massive implications for the league championship — it's anticipated because it's been a dry season for live sports.
Eyes are on the coaching matchup, as Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta (who had contracted Covid-19 in Match) is returning to challenge his former boss, Man City coach Pep Guardiola.

Man City's boosted by the returning Leroy Sane, the wingman and midfielder whose presence has been duly missed. We'll see if he (possibly) ends his time with the team on a high note, as it's rumored he could be going to Bayern Munich.
While Man City is favored to win, Arteta's experience with Man City's team and players, as well as Guardiola's tactics may help his team provide an upset.
The only thing it's missing, of course, will be fans, as this will be an empty arena show. We're curious to see how the Prem presents this game, as they may choose to pipe in fake crowd noises, or go with the more honest (though a tad creepy) emptiness of the setting.
