Premier League Preview: Title rivals meet at the Etihad
Man City and Arsenal lead the way again in the Premier League and the title rivals meet at the Etihad on Sunday.
City drew a rare blank when their Champions League clash with Inter Milan ended 0-0 on Wednesday. Arsenal also had to settle for a point in Europe as David Raya’s smart double save kept their game against Atalanta goalless.
Elsewhere this weekend, West Ham v Chelsea kicks off the action, while there’s a West Midlands derby as Wolves travel to Aston Villa. Liverpool will hope to bounce back from their defeat to Nottingham Forest when they host Bournemouth and Saturday’s late game sees Crystal Palace face Man Utd.
