It will be the Titans clash between Arsenal and Manchester City on Wednesday night at the Etihad Stadium when the two Premier League clubs meet in a Premier League game.
Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League table with five points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, who are 70 points behind and two games behind.
There is a lot of pressure on Arsenal at the moment, with Manchester City quickly trailing behind the Gunners to overtake Mikel Arteta's side in the race. Defeating Manchester City on Wednesday night at the Etihad Stadium has now become a necessity for Arsenal if they are to continue their pursuit of the title this season.
However, this task was nearly impossible for Mikel Arteta's army, judging by history. The last time Arsenal beat Man City at Etihad Stadium in the Premier League was more than 9 years ago.
The north London club went to Etihad Stadium in January 2015 for a Premier League match and they won it 2-0. It was a big win for the Gunners and, sadly, it turned out to be Arsenal's only win at the Etihad Stadium in nine years.
Mikel Arteta faces pressure to end his disastrous nine-game losing streak by beating former boss Pep Guardiola on Wednesday night at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has revealed that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is relentless in his day-to-day requirements.
Speaking after the FA Cup semi-final against Brighton, Shaw said:
“I think we as players can never take anything for granted.
"Every day with this manager you have to train 100 per cent everywhere because he sets high standards. If you don't meet those standards you won't be able to play under any circumstances. any - whether any injuries, suspensions or whatever.
"So for me, I don't take it for granted. But the end of the season is the most important, that's where you win a lot of things, and we want to win that trophy so we have to give it our all.
"Obviously it's not easy (playing as a centre-back). It's a little bit different if it's a three-man formation. But honestly, it's a two-man formation it's very different."
"But every time I play there, I really enjoy it and obviously we've got a few days (to prepare). The manager told me about it and Victor (Lindelof) of course because against such a team it is very subtle, a lot of tactics (information). Sometimes I had to linger in the fields to watch them.
"So it's something new but I love to play there, I love to play. Winning today was the most important thing.
The England defender admitted Ten Hag demanded better after Sevilla were knocked out of the Europa League last week.
"He said there was a team there today and he wasn't sure who or what was there on Thursday night. But that is clearly unacceptable.
"Today I don't think that puts things in order but it puts us in a good position to finish the season well because the Champions League is a must for us and the Manchester derby. now in the FA Cup final is a great game to be involved in.
"At the beginning of this week it was the most important week of the season. There's no doubt about that. A big Europa League game and then, of course, that. He will define our season.
"I think if we're both out then you're right about the season (it looks different). But I think today is a big game, a big chance to reach another final with a really good team and I think people will look forward to that.
