 "Premier League 2025: Man City vs Arsenal live match time, streaming")
A blockbuster Premier League showdown awaits at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday as Arsenal welcome Manchester City in what promises to be a pivotal early-season test of title credentials.
Arsenal enter the contest looking to prove their mettle against a direct rival after suffering a setback at Anfield before the international break, where Mikel Arteta’s conservative tactics came under the spotlight in a 2–0 loss to Liverpool. Since then, the Gunners have steadied themselves with back-to-back wins over Nottingham Forest and Athletic Club, continuing a fine defensive run that has seen them concede just once all season — to a spectacular Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick.
That record, however, faces its sternest examination against the relentless firepower of Pep Guardiola’s champions. City arrive in north London fresh from a commanding 3–0 Manchester derby victory and a midweek Champions League triumph over Napoli, with Erling Haaland in red-hot form after taking his season tally to 12 goals for club and country.
While City’s attacking threat is undeniable, defensive lapses have been exposed in recent weeks by Tottenham and Brighton, leaving room for Arsenal’s frontline to strike. Arteta’s side, who have finished behind City in two of the last three league campaigns, will be desperate to make a statement and show they can finally go one better.
With both sides boasting world-class talent and plenty at stake so early in the season, Sunday’s clash at the Emirates has all the ingredients of a Premier League classic.

Rodri is also uncertain after picking up a knock despite featuring against Napoli midweek. Pep Guardiola may stick with the same side that beat Manchester United last weekend, with Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku all in strong form.
