Guardiola customer, Arsenal have frightening record against City

The word ‘customer’ in football is strong, but it symbolizes the frightening retrospect of the Arsenal against manchester city in Pep Guardiola. Since the Spanish coach arrived in Premier League, he doesn’t know what it’s like to lose under the Cityzens in the derby against the Gunners at Etihad Stadium. To give you an idea, every time the Catalan team was at home in the match, they won seven times, drew once and never lost.

The last time Arsenal managed to come away with a win at the Etihad Stadium was in the 2014/15 season, when Manuel Pellegrini was the City manager. On that occasion, on January 18, 2015, the Gunners won 2-0 and with goals from Giroud It is cazorlathe technician was still Arsene Wenger. Since then, a lot has changed in the direct confrontation between the clubs.

Manchester City resigned Mauricio Pellegrini and brought in Pep Guardiola to start one of the most successful projects in the history of English football. Since then, Arsenal’s life has not been the same in the times they played at the Etihad Stadium. There were 18 matches between the teams, with only one draw, two wins for the Gunners and 15 for the Cityzens.

In the period that Pep Guardiola was present on the Manchester City bench, the team achieved the longest unbeaten streak in games against Arsenal. There were seven consecutive victories and, if they beat the Gunners this Wednesday, the 26th, that mark could even increase to eight matches.

The last time Arsenal managed to beat Guardiola’s Manchester City was on July 18, 2017, for the FA Cup, at the Emirates Stadium. Arteta was already the coach of the Gunners and had two goals from Aubameyang to beat the Cityzens by a difference of 2 to 0. After that, the team engaged a sequence of seven defeats and which lasts until today.

It is worth mentioning that, with that victory in 2017, at the Emirates Stadium, in the FA Cup, Arteta broke a sequence of seven defeats against Manchester City. The same can happen this Wednesday, the 26th, and the victory is more than welcome for the Londoners, as the three points ensured the maintenance of the team at the top of the Premier League.
