Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta hasn’t had much luck against his mentor Pep Guardiola. He is 1-7-1 in nine Premier League games as a manager against Guardiola’s City. Despite staying in the title race until the end for the past two seasons, Manchester City has come out on top each time.

Arsenal remain on top in north London after a 1-0 win over Tottenham proved their status as the primary challengers to Manchester City's grip on the Premier League title.It helped that Arsenal were facing a profligate Tottenham team who have conceded more set-piece goals over the last two seasons than any top-flight team except Forest.
