Manchester City take on Arsenal in a crunch match at the top of the Premier League as the two pre-season favourites for the title come to blows.

City pipped Arsenal to the last two successive Premier League titles, in a race that last season went down to the final match. Mikel Arteta’s side will be hoping to go one better this campaign, and they remain unbeaten in the league so far, having won three and drawn one, while City have enjoyed a flawless start to their season, winning all four of their opening four matches.

Riccardo Calafiori makes his full debut for Arsenal today and Kyle Walker makes his first start this season, while Martin Odegaard and Kevin De Bruyne are both out injured.

Follow all the action from Manchester City v Arsenal in the live blog below.

Half time: Manchester City 1-2 Arsenal

After a frantic half of football, here is a quick look at some of the stats:

100 – Erling Haaland has scored his 100th goal for Manchester City in all competitions, needing just 105 appearances to hit the landmark. Freakish. pic.twitter.com/3iP5JNDgWn

20 – Riccardo Calafiori is the 20th player to score on his first Premier League start for Arsenal, but only the second of those to do so with a goal from outside the box, after Fábio Vieira against Brentford in September 2022. Introduction. pic.twitter.com/ds08BLbAFW

Half time: Manchester City 1-2 Arsenal

An intense half of Premier League football comes to an end. So often clashes between the biggest sides are cagey affairs, but today’s match has been anything but that.

City have been the better of the two teams, but Arsenal have grasped their chances, although the red card to Trossard just on the brink of half time has put a serious dent in their chances of getting all three points at the Etihad.

RED CARD! Trossard is sent off on the brink of half time – Manchester City 1-2 Arsenal

45+7 minutes: RED CARD! Partey is shown a yellow card for a sliding tackle just on the brink of half time, and the free kick will be City’s last chance of the half.

But there’s another twist in the story and Trossard is shown a red card! He has flown into a tackle, barging Bernardo Silva, and then kicked the ball away. The Arsenal midfielder had already been shown a yellow card earlier in the match and he has to go here!

45+2 minutes: There is a VAR check for a possible foul on Ederson from Martinelli, but the goal is allowed to stand!

Gary Neville has just called out Ederson for “allowing” himself to be knocked to the ground by Martinelli.

GOAL! Gabriel fires Gunners into the lead – Manchester City 1-2 Arsenal

45+1 minutes: GOAL! A minute into the six minutes of added time and Arsenal have taken the lead!

It has come against the run of play, but Gabriel has headed the ball into the back of the net.

He had looked dangerous from a corner beforehand and he was just in the perfect place for that one.

Manchester City 1-1 Arsenal

Another update from our man on the ground Richard Jolly:

Exit Rodri, clattered within three seconds of kick-off, hurt a quarter of an hour later, a knee problem providing a cause for concern for Manchester City, regardless of the result against Arsenal.

His importance does not just stem from his excellence – though as a possible Ballon d’Or winner, he is among the best in the world – but from City’s record without him. They lost at Arsenal last season when he was suspended and when Mateo Kovacic had a particularly poor game. While City have fared better without Rodri this season, it is still more reassuring for him when he is present.

40 minutes: The game has just settled down a touch and Arsenal are enjoying a bit more time on the ball as it nears half time.

Although there have been two stoppages already so there is likely to be a reasonable amount of added time.

Manchester City 1-1 Arsenal

38 minutes: Chance! Another chance for Arsenal, it’s the first time they’ve got forward for a while.

The corner was perfectly placed but Gabriel just couldn’t direct his header into the back of the net, he had lost his marker Doku and carved out the ideal opportunity.
