Historic Matches between Arsenal and Manchester City

The history of these two clubs goes all the way back to 1893, when a match in the old League Division Two ended in a 1–0 win for Woolwich Arsenal over Ardwick (City’s previous name). In truth the clubs have only had a sustained rivalry since 2008. Let’s look at some of the big clashes since then:

Manchester City 4 - 2 Arsenal (2009-10)

A famous match in the Premier League era saw Emmanuel Adebayor score a crucial header, months after joining from Arsenal in an acrimonious transfer. He ran the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of Arsenal’s travelling support, in an image that is still widely shared.

Manchester City 6 - 3 Arsenal (2013-14)

On the way to their second Premier League title of their new era, Pellegrini’s City powered past the Gunners days after destroying Spurs 6-0. The goal of the game was a curled effort by Fernandinho to make 3-1 in 50 minutes.

Manchester City 0 - 2 Arsenal (2014-15)

Arsenal’s most recent victory at Manchester City came in January 2015, when they chose a counter-attacking style to get the better of Pellegrini’s City. Playing in deep midfield, Santi Cazorla was the star, scoring the opener in the first half and setting up Olivier Giroud for the winner in the second.

Arsenal 2 - 0 Manchester City (2019-20)

The two teams met in the FA Cup semi-final in the first of the two Covid-hit seasons. Arsenal defended deep and got the better of City with two smash-and-grab goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gunners qualified for a record 21st FA Cup final, winning against Chelsea to make 14 wins, more than any other team.

Manchester City 4 - 1 Arsenal (2022-23)

Arsenal had pushed Guardiola’s City all the way in the title race, but were obliterated on the home stretch in this vital City win. Kevin de Bruyne made the difference with a sublime opener on 7 minutes before sliding the ball past Ramsdale early in the second half to seal the win.

Arsenal 1 - 0  Manchester City (2023-24)

Manchester City had been undefeated in the league against Arsenal since 2015 until the Gunners edged out a close win at the Emirates. Gabriel Martinelli scored a deflected winner with less than five minutes to go.

Manchester City and Arsenal Players in Common

Watching Man City vs Arsenal you’ll often come across players who have appeared for both clubs. In recent years more players have swapped Manchester for London, such as Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

They have followed the lead of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, an assistant to Guardiola at City from 2016 to 2019. Also off the pitch, Arsenal winger Brian Marwood became an administrator at City from 2009 onwards.

After their takeover in 2008 Manchester City plundered Arsenal for a host of stars. The big ones were Emmanuel Adebayor, Kolo Touré, Samir Nasri, Gaël Clichy and Bacary Sagna. Meanwhile Patrick Vieira joined Manchester City after his time in Italy with Juventus and Inter Milan.

Going back further there’s a long line of players who were beloved by Gunners and Citizens fans. Picking the most popular, we have to mention strikers Niall Quinn, Nicolas Anelka and Paul Dickov, who made an impact at both teams. Goalkeeper David Seaman put in one season in Manchester at the end of his career in 2003-04.
