PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW

Pep Guardiola’s press conference ahead of our Premier League clash with Arsenal took place after our meeting with Napoli match.

While there’ll be no live stream on this occasion, you can still access detailed written and video coverage in the build-up to Sunday’s showdown across our estate from 13:30 (UK) on Friday.

OPPOSING MANAGER - MIKEL ARTETA

After leaving Guardiola's City backroom staff for the head coach role at Arsenal in December 2019, Mikel Arteta has rebuilt the Gunners into a title-challengers.

Since he took up the Emirates hot-seat, he's led them to second-place finishes each of the last three Premier League seasons while winning the FA Cup in 2020.

Although that cup triumph represents the only major honour of the Spaniard's tenure so far, under his stewardship, Arsenal have been one of the most consistent teams domestically and on the continent.

And after winning three of their opening four top-flight matches in 2025/26 so far they're on course to challenge once again this season.

DANGER MEN

After plundering a staggering 97 goals in 102 appearances in all competitions for Sporting between 2023 and 2025, summer signing Viktor Gyokeres has maintained that momentum since signing for Arsenal in the summer.

Across his five outings for the north Londoners so far he's scored three times - and he's not the only eye-catching signing the Gunners made in preseason.

Crystal Palace ace Eberechi Eze arrived alongside fellow England international Noni Madueke  to inject fresh attacking impetus into Arteta's side.

Alongside Bakayo Saka, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, Arsenal have an squad full of players capable of making the difference in high-pressure environments.

PREVIOUS MEETING

We last met Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in February where we suffered a 5-1 defeat.

After Erling Haaland equalised after Odegaard's opener, the Gunners secured three-points by the final whistle.

LAST TIME OUT

City began our 15th successive season in the Champions League with a 2-0 win over Napoli.

After a goalless first half, Erling Haaland became the fastest player in the competition's history to reach 50 goals when flicking Phil Foden's scooped cross home in the Norwegian's 49th outing.

Jeremy Doku then set the seal on a fine evening when doubling our lead.
