This draw came seven days after Arsenal had suffered a 1-0 EPL loss at Everton.

Mikel Arteta's side also lost 1-0 at Manchester City in the FA Cup in late January.

Arsenal's slip-up against Brentford gave City the chance to move to within three points of the EPL leaders by beating Aston Villa on Sunday.

City and Arsenal are then set to clash at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday in their first league meeting of the season.

If City win their next two matches, they will go top of the table for the first time since November, although Arsenal will have played one game fewer.
