The Premier League returns in grand fashion this Easter Sunday, with an epic clash at the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City, the reigning champions, play host to current league leaders Arsenal in a match with significant ramifications for the title race.
The spotlight will be firmly on Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who returns to his former stomping ground. Having spent years as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at City, Arteta now finds himself leading the Gunners in a battle against his old mentor.
A win for Arsenal would not only extend their lead at the top of the table but also potentially break their nine-year winless streak at the Etihad.
Despite trailing Arsenal by a single point, Manchester City remains the favorites in the eyes of many. Pep Guardiola’s men boast an intimidating home record, having not lost on their own turf in over 16 months.
