Arsenal v Manchester City – the recent classics

Premier League champions Manchester City face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday as both teams look to get their season off to a good start.

The Gunners have made five summer signings under new head coach Unai Emery, who takes charge of his first competitive game since replacing Arsene Wenger in May.

Manchester City were unstoppable last season as they finished the season with 100 points. They have signed Riyad Mahrez for a club-record fee as they aim to become the first club in a decade to retain the Premier League title.

Here, Press Association Sport’s Marissa Thomas looks at five recent meetings between the two clubs.
