In Guardiola's coaching career, there has never been a situation where the top league has not won five consecutive games against the same opponent. In order to avoid creating a shameful record, Guardiola did not make up for this game and sent the strongest lineup to meet the opponent. Donnarumma guarded the Long Golf, Husanov, Rubendias, Gvadior and O'Reilly built the defense. Rodri served as a single midfielder, Foden, B Se, Reindez and Doku were in the midfield, and the single arrow was Haaland.

The last time the two sides met, Arsenal beat Manchester City 5-1 at home. Now that the same venue has encountered strong opponents again, Arteta, who is eager to continue his strong performance, also exerted the team's most familiar 433 system. Starting goalkeepers Raya, Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba and Timber form the four defenders, Rice, Suvimenti and Merino lined up in the midfield, Trosad, Yorke and Maduaike form the offensive trident.

In the counterattack, Reindez passed the ball, and Haaland scored half-one shot and made a result, helping the Blue Moon Army to take a 1-0 lead early. The Norwegian Magic, who was away from London 21 times, has scored 20 goals, which also allowed Arsenal to break the fastest goal loss record in the league in nearly a year. Haaland also tied with Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with 91 goals, tied for the Norwegian player with the most goals in the Premier League history.

In the 20th minute, Manchester City completed a steal in the frontcourt, and Reindez's long-range shot was confiscated by Raya. Before the half-time game, Arsenal suddenly exerted force on the offensive end. Rice, Calafiori and Maduaike made continuous dangers, but Donnarumma, who spent 30 million euros in Manchester City's transfer fee, proved his value, and tried to keep the goal unabated, allowing the Blue Moon to lead with one goal and return to the locker room.

The change of sides and then changed sides, Arsenal put pressure on Manchester City's back defense. In the 50th minute, Eze shot strongly in the penalty area, which was bravely resolved by Donnarumma. In the 57th minute, Manchester City created another opportunity to counterattack. Doku passed the scalpel directly, and Haaland directly faced Raya with half-single shot. He shot low with his left foot, but was bravely blocked by Raya.

3 minutes later, Arsenal returned with color. Trosad made a cross from the left. Yorke in front of the goal did not react and missed the opportunity to equalize the score. Guardiola then replaced Foden and Haaland in succession, allowing Ak and Gonzalez to continue to strengthen their defense. However, in the 93rd minute of injury time, Martinelli, who came on as a substitute, broke Donnarumma's ten fingers with a lob shot, helping Arsenal tie Manchester City 1-1.
