Man City held 0-0 against Arsenal in the title race

Manchester City failed to achieve a positive result when they hosted Arsenal in the 2023/2024 Premier League duel. Josep Guardiola's squad could only secure one point through a 0-0 draw on Sunday(31st March 2024), at the Etihad Stadium. This match had a direct impact on the competition at the top of the standings as a result the Reds(Liverpool) clinched the top spot after MCI and ARS both shared a point in that match.

The Hosts Man City was very dominant with 73% ball possession and 690 passes, but the Gunners could fight back well. Even Man City could only get one shot on target during the 90 minutes and this draw was not good enough for both teams. The Citizens failed to climb to the top of the standings, their positive trend had to stop which appeared strong in front of their supporters. They have a fantastic record when playing at the Etihad Stadium, rarely losing. It was also recorded that Man City had always scored goals in 57 consecutive matches at the Etihad Stadium before meeting Arsenal. This means that the record started last season and lasted until this season. Unfortunately, now that record has been stopped by the Gunners. Man City failed to score a goal in front of their supporters, and their streak of 57 consecutive matches had been ended.

Not only that, but Man City also seemed to have difficulty dismantling the opponent's defense in match 29 of the EPL clash. They only had one shot on target from a total of 12 attempts, a very bad figure for the defending champions. The duet of William Lintasa and Gabriel Magalhaes seemed to be a suitable opponent for Erling Haaland but both sides failed to find the net and secured three points in that battle.
