Manchester City have won their last six consecutive matches against Arsenal, including a Carabao Cup Final win. They won 3-0 at the Emirates earlier this season, with Kevin de Bruyne striking twice and Raheem Sterling also netting. Here are the results of the last five matches:
Dec 15, 2019: Arsenal 0-3 Manchester City

Aug 12, 2018: Arsenal 0-2 Manchester City

Manchester City have been inconsistent this season as their grip on the Premier League title, after two title wins and 198 combined points, has slipped.
City added their trophy haul before the season was paused, however, and made kept their Champions League and FA Cup hopes alive too.
Their priorities are elsewhere, therefore, but they are still favourites to win their first game back in the Premier League.
Arsenal have also been inconsistent and have a dreadful recent record in this fixture with six consecutive defeats to City.
That includes the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City earlier this season, in which Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling both continued excellent seasons by scoring.
Sterling went off the boil before the break, but should be refreshed now. Leroy Sane is back in action too and City should be at full-strength for this game.
Complacency seems to have set in this season, but City remain second in the table and know they need momentum to keep their ambitions elsewhere on track too.
Pep Guardiola’s side are favourites for this match and can live up to that billing.

Manchester City are favourites to continue their excellent recent run of results against Arsenal.
Manchester City have a fully-fit squad at their disposal, with Leroy Sane back from his long-term injury and Aymeric Laporte fully fit again too.
Sergio Aguero – The Argentine striker is very much in the Golden Boot hunt and resumes the season having hit 23 goals in all competitions so far.
Raheem Sterling – After a stunning year, he went massively off the boil before the break. Nevertheless he has 20 goals and seven assists to his name this season.
Kevin de Bruyne – His next assist will be his 20th of a stunning season for the Belgian playmaker, while he also has nine goals.
Manchester City’s inconsistency continued prior to the break, as they signed off with a defeat to rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford. They had previously beaten Real Madrid, Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday, however, to ensure they remain on course for plenty of cup success.
Calum Chambers is a long-term absentee, while there appears to be no hurry to rush Lucas Torreira back after the broken leg he suffered earlier in the season.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – The Gabonese striker has scored 20 goals so far this season in 32 appearances in all competitions.
Bukayo Saka – His breakthrough season has include nine assists in all competitions, as well as scoring three of his own.
David Luiz – Looked decidedly short on match fitness in the match against Brentford that served as Arsenal’s warm-up, and he will need a vast improvement against his big rival Aguero.
Arsenal recovered from their Europa League defeat to Olympiakos by beating Portsmouth 2-0 in the FA Cup, before Alexandre Lacazette’s late winner ensured they signed off with a 1-0 win at home to West Ham United.
