Manchester City take on Arsenal in a crunch match at the top of the Premier League as the two pre-season favourites for the title come to blows.

City pipped Arsenal to the last two successive Premier League titles, in a race that last season went down to the final match. Mikel Arteta’s side will be hoping to go one better this campaign, and they remain unbeaten in the league so far, having won three and drawn one, while City have enjoyed a flawless start to their season, winning all four of their opening four matches.

Riccardo Calafiori makes his full debut for Arsenal today and Kyle Walker makes his first start this season, while Martin Odegaard and Kevin De Bruyne are both out injured.

Follow all the action from Manchester City v Arsenal in the live blog below.

19 minutes: Rodri is being helped from the pitch and he is limping fairly heavily. This is likely to be his last involvement in the match.

Kovacic has been instructed to warm up by Guardiola.

Manchester City 1-0 Arsenal

Time for some analysis from our Senior Football Correspondent, Richard Jolly at the Eithad:

Arsenal denied Erling Haaland a shot on target in the Premier League last season. He has made an impact on both of the defenders who subdued him then in the first 10 minutes here, colliding with William Saliba and accelerating away from Gabriel Magalhaes to score. It is 100 Manchester City goals in 105 games, or little over two seasons.

Manchester City 1-0 Arsenal

16 minutes: There’s another incident off the ball! Rodri has gone down and is writhing in pain.

It’s another stoppage, it’s a minor collision. VAR has checked it and dismissed it, but it could be a big blow for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.

He does seem to be in some pain.

15 minutes: Post! Gundogan takes it! He curls it towards the near post, Raya dives and it thuds back into play off the woodwork!

City have looked like a different team in this match so far.

13 minutes: Manchester City have looked dangerous every time they go forwards.

They will have another chance here with a free kick just on the edge of the Arsenal box.

GOAL! Erling Haaland nets his 100th goal for City - Manchester City 1-0 Arsenal

9 minutes: GOAL!

Erling Haaland has fired his side into an early lead, it’s his 100th goal for the club.

It was one ball that just carved open the defence and neither centre-back could chase the forward, it was perfectly weighted and Haaland has just slotted the ball into the back of the net.

Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal

7 minutes: Chance! After the frantic start, the game has calmed down a bit, with both sides just trying to find their feet and pass the ball around a bit.

City have had most of the ball, and Gundogan has a brilliant chance to give his side the lead.

The ball was rapped into him, he takes a stunning touch to control it but then fires his volley wide of the goal!

Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal

5 minutes: Another heavy collision! This time it’s Haaland who instigates it, he jumps into Saliba there’s no other way of putting it.

Another free kick, and this could turn into a chaotic clash.

It took place inside the first flour or five seconds, Rodri dropped to the ground holding his head.
