Can English Premier League leader Arsenal hold its nerve, or will second-place Man City take the chance to close the gap on the Gunners in this crucial title race showdown at the Etihad?
A home victory for the hosts on Sunday looks essential if Man City is to claim a sixth EPL title under manager Pep Guardiola. A win here would move City to within three points of Arsenal. The hosts can draw plenty of encouragement from the comfortable 2-0 win in last month's League Cup final as they look to heap further pressure on the Gunners. That pressure may be starting to get to the league leaders.
While Arsenal's 2-1 home defeat last Sunday against Bournemouth has given City renewed optimism that it can catch its title opponents, Mikel Arteta's team nevertheless claimed a positive result in midweek. Arsenal's goalless draw at the Emirates against Sporting Lisbon ensured its passage into the UEFA Champions League semifinals for the second season in a row.
Man City takes on Arsenal on Sunday, April 19, at the Etihad Stadium, with kickoff set for 4:30 p.m. BST. That makes it an 11:30 a.m. ET or 8:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 1:30 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia in the early hours of Monday morning.
