It's the big game of the weekend and the biggest of the season so far as last year's title rivals Arsenal and Man City meet for the first time in this campaign at the Emirates.
Apprentice Mikel Arteta very nearly overcame his master Pep Guardiola last season before a late stumble, and the Gunners will want to prove they're still up for the challenge.
They trail City by a point but are unbeaten this season. Ending a dismal run of 12 straight league defeats against the champions would go a long way to boosting Arsenal's belief that they could go all the way this time around.
And you know it's a big game when we're cracking out our five top Bet Builders again.
City still top dogs Bet Builder
Man City have lost a couple of away games but this is a chance to strike an early title blow and put Arsenal in their place. How will City do that?
The Gunners have at least managed to score in the last two home meetings during their league losing streak against City. Four of the five goals Guardiola's side have let in so far this season have come away from the Etihad.
And what happens in most Man City games? Erling Haaland scores of course, so he has to be included in a City win multiple.
Gunners statement Bet Builder
It's bigger than just three points if Arsenal win this one, especially if they're without Bukayo Saka, who has scored in the last two meetings at the Emirates.
You'd usually say a sneaky 1-0 is the best way to beat City, but the Gunners haven't kept a home clean sheet yet and have scored at least twice in every game at the Emirates.
Gabriel Jesus scored against Man Utd in a big game here and also scored a nice goal at Lens in midweek as he looks to get his stop-start season really going.
Jesus, who is 5/23.50 anytime scorer against his former side, can do the damage if the Gunners are to strike an early title blow.
Shoot for profit Bet Builder
We all like to see attacking football don't we so it's always good to get involved in a shots Bet Builder with four players here at half-decent prices.
Martin Odegaard is 10/111.91 for 1+ shot on target which looks a nice price as he leads Arsenal with 11 shots on target this season.
Also at 10/111.91 is Leandro Trossard, who could see some extra playing time if Saka is out, and who has hit the target in his last five games.
Phil Foden has hit the target in four of his last five starts and looks to be a growing influence on this Man City team. Foden is 5/61.84 to hit the target here.
Finally we have Jeremy Doku, who is part of the 10/111.91 club and arrives in good form after a goal and assist in Liepzig during the week.
Other guys Bet Builder
We'll hear a lot about Haaland, Odergaard, Saka if fit and Jesus in the build-up, but other players may have a big impact on this game.
Notably Julian Alvarez, who is the ultimate second fiddle to Haaland but who seems to make an impact whenever he plays - as he showed with a goal and assist in a 12-minute cameo in Leipzig.
Alvarez is 6/42.50 for a goal or assist and he could again take advantage of all Arsenal's attention being on Haaland.
Bernardo Silva has been in and out of the team, but he's one of those big-game players who usually shows up in these.
Silva is 12/53.40 in the goal or assist market and is worth a look, especially if he starts.
And for Arsenal, this sounds strange given how much money he's been bought for, but Kai Havertz falls into the 'other guy' category with Jesus, Saka and Odegaard grabbing the headlines.
The German finally put the ball in the net for Arsenal last week, and let's not forget he scored the Champions League final winner for Chelsea against City, so he has got big-game form. Getting involved in a goal here could really jump-start his time in an Arsenal shirt.
Cards and fouls Bet Builder
It's bound to get feisty, so let's look at who the bad boys will be on Sunday.
Havertz has four bookings and a whopping 21 fouls so far this season and has given away at least two in three of his last four games. He's good for another 2+ fouls.
We've then got a trio of players that I like the look of to give away a foul - starting with Mateo Kovacic who was involved in some heated battles with Arsenal during his Chelsea days.
Declan Rice hasn't given away too many fouls this season, just four in fact, but this will be a big test for the £100m man.
Foden also hasn't been too much trouble for referees, but gave away two fouls in a hostile atmosphere at West Ham so one here sounds about right.
The last two meetings between these teams at the Emirates have seen six and seven bookings (and a red). With the stakes high again expect something similar here.
Over 5.5 cards is 6/42.50 and gives us a big boost for our bad boy Bet Builder.
