LAWRO'S PREDICTION
As much as Arsenal have improved, and as good as their home record is - only Manchester City's is better this season - there is still a huge gulf between these two sides.
The difference is not going to be as big as it was when City beat the Gunners 5-0 at Etihad Stadium in August, but taking on the leaders is a heck of an ask for Arsenal's young side.
When I look at how City have been playing during their run of 10 straight league wins, I can only think this is going to be victory number 11.
Prediction: 0-3
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Arsenal have lost the past nine league meetings - their longest ever losing streak against a particular club.
Manchester City are on a run of six straight away victories at the Emirates Stadium, including four in the Premier League.
The Gunners have failed to score in their previous five top-flight games with City, one short of their longest such streak against any opponent.
Arsenal
Arsenal are unbeaten in 11 home games on New Year's Day since losing 2-1 to Tottenham in 1985 (W9, D2).
Their last defeat on 1 January was 2-0 at Southampton in 2015.
The Gunners have won their five most recent Premier League home fixtures, keeping a clean sheet in each of the last four.
The last time they won five consecutive top-flight home matches without conceding was between January and April 1999.
Emile Smith Rowe, 21, is vying to score in a fifth consecutive Premier League appearance - he would become the third youngest player to achieve this feat, behind only Nicolas Anelka (in 1998) and Jose Antonio Reyes (in 2004), who coincidentally both also did so while playing for Arsenal.
The last English player to score in five successive league games for Arsenal was Ian Wright, who netted in seven straight matches in 1994.
Manchester City
Manchester City begin 2022 eight points clear - all five of the previous sides who began the new year with a lead of eight points or more went on to win the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola has led his club to 10 successive Premier League wins for the fourth time - no other manager has done so more than twice.
Guardiola's side are on a run of six away league wins in a row, and have only dropped points in three of their last 23 such matches (D1, L2).
They have won seven of their past eight Premier League games on New Year's Day, with the exception a 1-0 loss at Sunderland in 2012.
Raheem Sterling has scored in each of his last three away league fixtures versus Arsenal. The only player to score in four consecutive Premier League away appearances against Arsenal is Nicolas Anelka, who did so between 2002 and 2009.
Sterling is vying to score in five successive Premier League appearances for the first time in his career.

Manchester City begin 2022 eight points clear

Arsenal is next

Arsenal can surprise but the worst that can happen is DRAW

Damnnn niggar
Una nor even want allow arsenal fans celebrate new year

Manchester City to win comfortably.

Arsenal has been on a winning run but against which teams?

Leeds, Norwich, Watford, Newcastle and other teams battling relegation. Whenever they come up against the big boys, they crumble like a pack of card.

I still believe M. Arteta is a fluke. I'm not convinced. At least not yet.


The title is City's to lose!

Mikel Arteta, watching from home after testing positive for Covid-19, makes just one change to the Arsenal side that beat Norwich 5-0 on 26 December.
Takehiro Tomiyasu returns at right-back, meaning Rob Holding drops to the bench.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Lacazette.

Subs: Leno, Smith Rowe, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Soares, Pepe, Tavares, Lokonga, Elneny.

Joao Cancelo starts for Manchester City despite being injured in a robbery two days ago as the visitors make three changes to the side that beat Brentford.
Rodri comes in for Fernandinho in midfield, while Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez replace Jack Grealish and Phil Foden, who is not in the squad.
Kyle Walker also returns on the bench for City.

Man City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Ake, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus.

Subs: Steffen, Walker, Gundogan, Grealish, Fernandinho, Kayky, Mbete, Palmer, McAtee.
