Arsenal vs Manchester City: the head-to-head
Arsenal’s encounters with Manchester City since 2020 have been decidedly one-sided, with the Citizens dominating the brief 13-match slate. City’s eight victories outshine Arsenal’s two wins and three draws, a record that underscores the gulf between the sides. The average of 2.85 goals per game reflects a fairly open contest, yet the over-2.5 percentage of 54% shows that many meetings have produced three or more goals, while 69% feature at least two. Both teams have scored in just over half of the fixtures, with a 54% BTTS rate. The latest clash on 19 April 2026 saw City edge Arsenal 2-1 in the Premier League, a result that fits the overall trend. Arsenal’s goal tally stands at 13 against City’s 24, and when playing at home Arsenal have won twice, drawn once and lost four times, whereas away they have failed to win, drawing twice and losing four. Their next meeting is scheduled for 28 November 2026 in the Premier League.
