Today's Premier League action brings forth a colossal showdown as Manchester City prepares to host Arsenal. This pivotal match adds even more excitement to Easter Sunday, following closely behind Liverpool's clash with Brighton at Anfield.
Arsenal's task at hand is no easy feat, as they haven't secured a victory at the Etihad Stadium since January 2015. To reignite their hopes of lifting the top-flight championship for the first time in two decades, they'll need to breach City's formidable defense.
Both teams enter this fixture in stellar form. City's last defeat dates back to December, and they appear poised to replicate the treble heroics of last season. Meanwhile, Arsenal boasts an impressive streak of eight consecutive league wins and rides north on the momentum of a penalty shootout victory over Porto, propelling them into the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in 14 years. The hunger to end longstanding droughts fuels Arsenal's ambition.
