Manchester City Vs Arsenal Head-To-Head Record: EPL History Favors Gunners

Manchester City will start Wednesday's home game against Arsenal as heavy favorites to win and take control of the Premier League title race.

Pep Guardiola's City have won each of their last seven games against the Gunners in all competitions, including a 3-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium earlier this year.

But despite City's recent period of dominance, Arsenal have still won more games than they have lost against the blue half of Manchester.

The first ever game between these two clubs took place in 1893 when City were known as 'Ardwick' and Arsenal were based in Woolwich. On that occasion, Woolwich Arsenal won 1-0.

In total, City and Arsenal have faced each other 207 times. Arsenal have recorded 98 wins, City have come out on top 64 times, while there have been 45 draws.
