How to watch Man City vs Arsenal live streams 2024/5

The Man City vs Arsenal live stream will be the latest edition of simmering rivalry as the Premier League’s title favorites clash for the first time this season — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

City’s perfect record from the final nine games of 2023/24 was typical of the late-season surge Pep Guardiola’s side have produced to win six of the past seven Premier League titles. Now seeking five in a row, the Cityzens have even started a campaign in unusually solid form after four wins from four with Erling Haaland plundering nine goals, including hat-tricks against Ipswich and West Ham.

Neither picking up 89 points – more than they won in the 2003/04 Invincibles campaign – nor conceding just 29 goals were enough for Arsenal to end City’s Premier League stranglehold last season. From the goalless draw at the Etihad last March, the Gunners dropped just three points from a possible 27 but were still pipped to the title, which is why matches against City are so important. Bukayo Saka has delivered a goal or assist in every league game this term and will again seek to be their Starboy to lay down an early marker in the title race.

Make sure you keep up with all the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide for all 380 games.

Watch Man City vs Arsenal from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the Premier League on your usual subscription?

You can still watch Man City vs Arsenal live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It’s the best on the market:

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you’re away from the U.S., and want to view your usual U.S. service, you’d select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service listed below that’s showing Man City vs Arsenal and watch the game.
