Arsenal stuns Man City
Arsenal beat Manchester City 2–1 on March 28 — Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli scored, and the result cuts Arsenal’s gap to just one point behind Liverpool at the top.

Major outlets’ match records show Manchester City beat Arsenal 2–0 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on March 22, 2026, and there is no Premier League fixture between the two clubs dated March 28, 2026; Arsenal’s next scheduled league trip to the Etihad is listed for April 19, 2026. The Premier League table updated March 29, 2026 lists Arsenal top with 70 points from 31 matches, Manchester City on 61 points from 30 matches (one game in hand), and Liverpool on 49 points from 31 matches. Manchester City remain subject to a long-running Premier League disciplinary process that alleges 115 breaches of financial rules; the hearing has not produced a final verdict and has been repeatedly delayed. Multiple outlets report Pep Guardiola is weighing his future with City and expected to decide imminently, while media coverage says the club is sounding out possible successors — names reported in circulation include Enzo Maresca. Analysts note City’s March 22 League Cup victory provides a short‑term psychological lift but does not erase the league deficit — City’s game‑in‑hand and the April 19 Etihad meeting are being framed as pivotal for the title run‑in. The two immediate markers to watch are City’s outstanding fixture schedule over the next two matchweeks and the head‑to‑head at the Etihad on April 19; both the manager’s imminent decision and the unresolved disciplinary case have been singled out in press coverage as potential variables for how those fixtures shape the title race.
