They remain top of the table with 75 points, five more than second place Man City who are unbeaten in 16 games.
Arsenal have lost their last 11 games against City in the Premier League – their longest such streak against a single opponent in the competition.
City have won eight of their last nine games in the Premier League and are on a six-game winning streak in the competition at the moment.
Arsenal have been top of the EPL for months and the title seems to be slowly slipping away from their reach unless they can cause an upset here.
City still have a game in hand and a win here would put them on course for back to back league titles under Pep Guardiola.
The home team have played 12 games at the Etihad in 2023 and have won all 12 of them – scoring at least two goals in every game.
Arsenal officially remain the best-performing away side in the Premier League season with 36 points from 16 games on the road.
