Arsenal vs. Manchester City hasn’t quite captured the imagination as a Premier League title rivalry compared to more romantic competitors.
These two teams have fought tooth and nail at the summit in three of the previous four seasons, and the upcoming duel in Manchester will most likely decide who ends up as the competition’s latest victor.
We’re too far into the rivalry to continue describing this contest as a “master vs. apprentice” affair, with Mikel Arteta, despite the lack of silverware, ascending to levels beyond. A first league title in 22 years is staring his weary team in the face, with anything but a defeat on Sunday further emboldening Arsenal’s already strong hopes, even if they’ve teased a collapse in recent weeks.
