This is City’s first ever ‘live’ TV game. They appear to disappoint the TV men by refusing to lie down and allow Arsenal to walk all over them. It is an impressive defensive display and Arsenal don’t have the guile to break them down. Arsenal are unbeaten in 21 games and top the table.

City's first live televised game

Arsenal 1st | City 8th (22)
