What's at stake in Man City vs. Arsenal this Sunday
There is still a month remaining in the 2025-26 Premier League season, but Sunday's meeting is the closest you can get to a mid-April title decider.
The teams have already met twice this season, in September (2025) they drew 1-1 and in March (2026) Man City won the Carabao Cup 2-0. Arsenal is currently leading the Premier League, defeating Man City would extend the lead.
This is a must-win game for Man City, as they trail Arsenal by six points but a victory would cut the gap. A loss for Arsenal would put immense pressure on the team to win all of their final matches.
