How to watch Man City vs Arsenal: TV channel and kick-off time for Premier League title showdown today

Manchester City and Arsenal meet in a potential title decider at the top of the Premier League.

Having looked reasonably secure at the top of the table for so long, Arsenal will be starting to fret after recent draws against West Ham and Southampton.

That gives Mikel Arteta’s side only a five point buffer over their opponents, who have two games in hand and would be very much in control of their own destiny with a home victory.

Manchester City kept their pursuit of a treble on with an FA Cup semi final win at the weekend and will return to league action full of confidence.

Here’s everything you need to know.
