We’ve a huge ‘Super Sunday’ clash in the English top-flight today as Arsenal and Man City lock horns at the Emirates Stadium. But, over the last eight years, the Blue Moon have been a thorn in the side for the Gunners with not a single win for the North London side during that period – so can Mikel Arteta’s men end this dismal run on Sunday?
Arsenal Last Beat Man City In The Premier League Back In 2015
Okay, Arsenal fans might say – you are only as good as your last game (or head-to-head) and with that in mind, they can claim a small victory having beaten Man City on penalties in the Community Shield back in August.
However, City supporters will quickly brush that defeat aside and remind the Gunners they’ve not lost to them in the Premier League since December 2015 – current boss Pep Guardiola, who joined in 2016, wasn’t even at the helm.
Oh, and it was also the season Leicester City shocked the footballing world to win the 2015-16 Premier League.
Back then it was Manuel Pellegrini who was steering the City ship and it’s the Chilean manager that still holds the record as the last Blue Moon boss to lose a league game against Arsenal.
This run of City successes over Arsenal in the Premier League now stretches back 15 games and remarkably, of those matches, the current champions have won 12.
The pair face-off again this Sunday in the latest instalment of Arsenal trying to ‘stop the rot’ in this 8 year and 15 match run and the best UK football betting sites feel they’ve got a chance @ 41/20, with the draw 12/5 and Man City 6/4.
