When did Arsenal last win a Premier League match at Etihad stadium?

The Gunners have a miserable record at the stadium in recent history

Because of their recent struggles, Arsenal will probably need to defeat Manchester City on Wednesday night at the Etihad to claim victory in the Premier League for the first time in 20 years.

The Gunners have lost six points in their past three games, giving City the lead in the championship battle. At different stages, this season, they have held eight-point leads over Pep Guardiola's team, but with City having played two fewer games going into Wednesday's crucial match, their advantage has been reduced to five points.

The reigning champions, who are now playing like an increasingly rabid edition of Guardiola, hold the key.

Given their prior experience at the Etihad, Arsenal faces an enormous challenge. They haven't won on the sky-blue team in Manchester in quite some time.

When did Arsenal last defeat Man City at Etihad Stadium?

In January 2015, Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud scored in a 2-0 victory for Arsenal against Man City.

City came into the match on a 12-game undefeated streak, while Arsenal hadn't triumphed at the Etihad since 2010. The 2014–15 season had been very uneventful for Arsene Wenger's team up to that point, and they began the day sixth in the standings, behind teams like Tottenham and Southampton.

The Citizens, meantime, were Chelsea's main rivals, but after this loss, they fell five points behind Jose Mourinho's team. With this victory, Arsenal surpassed their opponents in north London and moved up to fifth.

The main stimulant for Arsenal's outstanding season finale was their triumph at the Etihad. The Gunners finished third in the rankings, four points behind City, who faded in March and April, after dropping just two of their final 16 league games.

The season ended with silverware for Wenger's Gunners as they thrashed Aston Villa 4-0 in the FA Cup final, their second successive victory in the competition, even though Chelsea marched to the championship by an eight-point lead.
