Manchester City vs Arsenal History

These clubs have a storied history of more than 130 years, and they've both come a long way to sit among the most successful English football teams. Manchester City & Arsenal first contested a First Division fixture in 1904, the same year the teams met in the FA Cup for the first time.

The teams met in the FA Cup semi-finals at Villa Park in 1932. Arsenal claimed a narrow 1-0 win, but would go on to lose to Newcastle United at Wembley Stadium.

Despite missing out on this particular occasion, Arsenal were generally successful around this time, collecting five First Division titles & two FA Cup crowns in the decade preceding WWII. The north London outfit didn't celebrate another real golden period until the Arsène Wenger era.

The French coach steered the Gunners to the Premier League title three times – including the famous 'Invincibles' season of 2003/04 – in addition to seven triumphs in the FA Cup. Not only did this make Arsenal the most decorated club in FA Cup history, it also meant Wenger became the most successful manager in this esteemed competition.

Manchester City, meanwhile, didn't have all too much to brag about prior to the takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group. MCFC won the First Division twice & the FA Cup four times pre-2008. Both those tallies have risen significantly in recent years, with Man City now one of the most feared teams across Europe.

The Citizens became the first of these teams to claim UEFA Champions League glory, doing so in 2023 with victory over Inter Milan in the final. Arsenal had previously reached the Champions League final in 2006, but lost to FC Barcelona.

Manchester City vs Arsenal Stats & Mutual Connections

Perhaps nobody relished this fixture more than Sergio Agüero did. The former Man City & Argentina striker scored 11 goals in 19 matches against Arsenal, including a hat-trick at the Etihad Stadium in February 2019.

Not many players have switched directly from Manchester City to Arsenal, though the same cannot be said about moving in the opposite direction. David Seaman spent the final months of his career at MCFC, while the likes of Kolo Touré, Emmanuel Adebayor & Samir Nasri all swapped the red side of London for the blue half of Manchester at the height of theirs.

Having worked with them during his time as a coach at Man City, Mikel Arteta prised Gabriel Jesus & Oleksandr Zinchenko away from his former employers in the summer of 2022. The pair cost a total sum around £75m in transfer fees.

Although he didn't move directly between the clubs, ex-Arsenal skipper Patrick Vieira ended his playing career at the City of Manchester Stadium following spells with Juventus & Inter Milan.

Manchester City vs Arsenal Head-to-Head

Since first sharing a pitch back in 1893, these teams have met more than 200 times, mostly in the top flight as well as a few FA Cup & League Cup ties. In recent years this hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Arsenal, and the home side has enjoyed some major victories in this fixture, particularly since the start of the Abu Dhabi-backed investment into MCFC.

The Citizens ran out 6-3 winners when Arsenal visited the Etihad Stadium in December 2013. Six goals were scored in the second half, four of those by Man City, with David Silva & Yaya Touré among the goalscorers.

İlkay Gündoğan, Ferran Torres, Gabriel Jesus, and Rodri all got in on the act as Manchester City stormed to a 5-0 demolition of the Gunners just a few weeks into the 2021/22 campaign. The very next season, the hosts put Arsenal to the sword with another heavy defeat. Kevin De Bruyne scored twice before Erling Haaland put the icing on the cake in a 4-1 win, denting Arsenal's hopes of usurping the throne of Pep Guardiola's team.
