Man City vs Arsenal live stream: How to watch Premier League game online and on TV today, team news

Today's Man City vs Arsenal live stream will be the latest edition of simmering rivalry as the Premier League's title favorites clash for the first time this season — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

City's perfect record from the final nine games of 2023/24 was typical of the late-season surge Pep Guardiola's side have produced to win six of the past seven Premier League titles. Now seeking five in a row, the Cityzens have even started a campaign in unusually solid form after four wins from four with Erling Haaland plundering nine goals, including hat-tricks against Ipswich and West Ham.

Neither picking up 89 points – more than they won in the 2003/04 Invincibles campaign – nor conceding just 29 goals were enough for Arsenal to end City's Premier League stranglehold last season. From the goalless draw at the Etihad last March, the Gunners dropped just three points from a possible 27 but were still pipped to the title, which is why matches against City are so important. Bukayo Saka has delivered a goal or assist in every league game this term and will again seek to be their Starboy to lay down an early marker in the title race.

Make sure you keep up with all the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide for all 380 games.
