Manchester City vs Arsenal live stream — how to watch Premier League 21/22 game online

The Manchester City vs Arsenal live stream is here, and it sees under-fire manager Mikel Arteta taking his team to the Etihad Stadium for a tough game where the Gunners ideally need a result, as they currently languish at the lower end of the Premier League. Manchester City, on the other hand, are looking to follow up their dominant display against Norwich City. So today's game could see an exciting matchup, with both teams vying for the three points. 

Last week, Man City put in a five-star performance away at Norwich, putting five past the Canaries without even getting out of second gear. If the opening day defeat to Tottenham Hotspurs had dented the side's confidence, it certainly didn't show. 

Arsenal, on the other hand, followed up their own opening day defeat (away at Brentford) with a limp performance against London-rivals Chelsea. The Gunners looked completely off the pace and were outclassed by the Blues over all the pitch. If anything, only losing 2-0 flattered Arsenal. 

Manager Mikel Artera reportedly has five games to save his job, so the last fixture he likely wants to play next is away to current the title holders. But football has a funny way of playing out how you least expect, and a shock result here could be the turning point that sees Arsenal kick-start their season. 

Here's how the teams line up: 

Man City: Ederson, Walker, Rúben Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Bernardo Silva, Rodrigo, Gündogan, Gabriel Jesus, Torres, Grealish

Arsenal: Leno, Cédric Soares, Chambers, Holding, Kolasinac, Tierney, Ødegaard, Smith Rowe, Xhaka, Saka, Aubameyang
