STAT PACK: Man City vs Arsenal
Here is your weekly Squakwa stat pack.
These two mammoth sides have faced off over 50 times in the Premier League and both have enjoyed some big wins.
They are the two favourites from the Premier League title and you can see why, just look at their statistics from last season.
Both scored over 90 goals, and both created over 13 chances per match.
Despite their last encounter being a stalemate, expect excitement this afternoon.
Gunners aim for rare Etihad victory
The last time Arsenal beat Manchester City in the Premier League was in January 2015.
So it's safe to say that they have struggled at the Etihad in recent seasons!
Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud were the scorers on that day, but Mikel Arteta will be hoping that someone from his starting XI can be the next Gunner to be a hero at the Etihad Stadium.
Arsenal were criticised for their performance at the Etihad last season, where it was claimed that they played for the draw.
Given City could go five points ahead today, a draw wouldn't be the worst result, but three could make people start to see them as the title favourites this season.
Good afternoon!
And welcome to Mail Sport's live blog for what should be a cracking match between Manchester City and Arsenal.
It is only matchday five in the new Premier League season and yet this match could play a huge factor as to where the title will go in this 38-match season.
Manchester City have been in electric form so far this campaign and they could build a five point lead over their expectant title challengers this season.
Arsenal have fallen short of City for the title in the last two seasons, but win today and they go top - which might be very early in the campaign, but would put a real stamp on their credentials to end their league drought.
We will be with you for all the build-up and provide live updates from kick-off at 4.30pm.
