Manchester City are searching for their first Premier League win of 2026 in Saturday’s Manchester Derby, and the Cityzens can ill-afford any more imminent slip-ups if they’re to keep pace with Arsenal at the summit.
The Gunners are six points clear after City’s streak of draws, but Pep Guardiola’s side enter the upcoming derby off the back of an excellent result in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at Newcastle United. A 2–0 victory means they have one foot in the final.
