Arsenal on Sunday played a barren draw at the Etihad.
Both teams tried to score but to no avail with Arsenal being defensive minded for the most part of the thrilling encounter.
Nathan Ake’s effort early in the encounter was saved by Arsenal keeper David Raya before going off injured while former City striker, Gabriel Jesus posed an occasional threat, just failing to connect with Bukayo Saka’s cross inches from goal after the break.
The introduction of Jack Grealish and Jemy Doku on the City side and Tomiyasu and Thomas Partey on the Gunners side had little spark into the game in the second 45 minutes.
City posed some threats in the closing stages of the game but met a stiff defense on the side of the Gunners.
Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta will be happier than City counterpart Pep Guardiola with this outcome – but the real winners were Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.
Liverpool are now top of the table, two points clear of Arsenal and three ahead of City, after they came from behind to beat Brighton at Anfield, their delight increased by their two closest rivals cancelling each other out.
