In a match high on tension but short of clear-cut chances, which left Liverpool two points clear at the top of the Premier League. With Jurgen Klopps side coming from behind to beat Brighton earlier on Sunday, all eyes were on this mouth-watering match-up in Manchester - but the stars of City and Arsenal seemed inhibited by the enormity of the final head-to-head between any of the three championship chasers of this season. The best chance of the game came in the first half when Nathan Ake shouldered a corner at Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya from close range. The Dutchman would go off with a calf problem not long after, but despite that further denting an injury-hit City backline, Arsenal failed to majorly trouble stand-in keeper Stefan Ortega. Nathan Ake fails to connect with the ball from a Kevin De Bruyne corner, knocking it straight into David Raya. He was eventually made to work by sub-Leandro Trossard in the final minutes from an angle after City replacement Jeremy Doku had twice fired off target. Erling Haaland barely had a kick and missed the ball completely when Josko Gvardiols knockdown seemed to open it up for him with six minutes to play. A rare blank for City; this was the first 0-0 between these sides since January 2011. Man Citys last Premier League 0-0 was 76 games ago in March 2022 vs Crystal Palace. Man City had scored in 47 consecutive home league games before this match. The result extends Man Citys unbeaten home record to a remarkable 39 games, so Arsenal - who had lost their last eight here in all competitions - may see positives in taking a point away. But after beating City in both the Community Shield and the Premier League at the Emirates, their failure to do the treble over Pep Guardiolas men means they are now two points behind Liverpool.
