The Gunners raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette.
But Town responded well, but their goal came too late to provide more pressure in pursuit of a point, with Sead Kolasinac putting through his own net in stoppage time.
Relive the action as it happened above.
Just five minutes to go until kickoff. The focus will largely be at Anfield to see how Jurgen Klopp's men react to City's resurgence, but there are a whole load of intriguing battles taking place across the grounds.
The Marco Silva derby takes place at Vicarage Road, while Unai Emery is under similar pressure with his side more defensive than usual at bottom club Huddersfield.
So who will the pressure build on today?
We're underway in all of our 3pm games.
Let's see what twists and turns are in store for us in the five games today.
2 min: Liverpool 0-0 Bournemouth
Fast start from the visitors, who are denied the lead by Alisson's save from Ryan Fraser's shot after 80 seconds.
4 min: Watford 0-0 Everton
A good chance for the visitors to assert some early pressure, but Gylfi Sigurdsson's 50-yard free-kick is staright into the hands of Ben Foster.
6 min: Southampton 0-0 Cardiff
An emotional afternoon on the south coast for the visitors after the passing of Emiliano Sala, but neither side has taken the initiative so far.
8 min: Liverpool 0-0 Bournemouth
Bournemouth are not holding back here, having two efforts on goal in the opening ten minutes.
Nothing yet from the hosts.
9 min: Huddersfield 0-0 Arsenal
Jan Siewert's side are well up for this. They have started well in the opening exchanges but the Gunners are looking to pose a threat through Alexandre Lacazette.
