Arsenal’s recent victory at Anfield has brought an end to a 14-year wait for a league win at Liverpool’s home ground, marking a significant achievement for Mikel Arteta’s side. The result has also drawn attention to another challenge the Gunners are yet to overcome in English football.

For more than a decade, Manchester City have remained a difficult opponent for Arsenal whenever they travel to the Etihad Stadium for a Premier League fixture. The North London club have gone 11 consecutive years without securing a league victory away against City, making the Manchester outfit one of their biggest remaining obstacles.

Arsenal’s success at Anfield is particularly important because Liverpool have traditionally been one of the toughest teams to face on their own ground. Ending that long-standing record demonstrates how much progress the Gunners have made under Arteta and could provide them with additional confidence ahead of other challenging away fixtures.

However, their record against Manchester City remains a major talking point. Despite Arsenal becoming more competitive in recent seasons and challenging for major honours, winning at the Etihad has continued to prove difficult.

With the rivalry between the two clubs growing stronger, another meeting this season could provide Arsenal with an opportunity to finally change that record. The Gunners will need to demonstrate the same determination, organisation and attacking quality that helped them overcome Liverpool at Anfield.

Attention is now turning towards whether Arsenal can reproduce that performance against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Ending their 11-year wait for a league victory at the Etihad would represent another important milestone in their development.

The question supporters will be asking is whether Arsenal can finally overcome this challenge and secure a historic away victory against Manchester City this season.
