Comments:

League position: 10th Arsenal had now failed to score in six of their last 11 home games in the Premier League. The Gunners had now lost three of their last four games in the Premier League (won one). They had now lost 12 of their last 19 games in the Premier League against a team that started the day at the top of the table (won three). Rob Holding was replaced by David Luiz after 82 minutes under the new concussion substitute protocol. This did not count as one of Arsenal's three regular changes.

Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City equalled their club record of 11 consecutive away wins in all competitions; previously from May to November in 2017. They extended the all-time record for a top division team of winning 18 consecutive games in all competitions (13 in the Premier League). City had now opened the scoring within the first five minutes on four of their last six visits to the Emirates Stadium in all competitions.
