Erling Haaland's nightmare run against William Saliba continued as the Norwegian striker failed to make a dent in the Arsenal rear-guard at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland was once again trusted to provide the required firepower for Pep Guardiola's men but the 23-year-old came up short.
The hosts had scored in every single game at the Etihad and were looking to do so again =, but met the immovable Arsenal defence.

The three meetings this year have seen Haaland fail to stand out, and last year's PFA winner has failed to register a shot in the last two.
This draw means Liverpool end the weekend as big winners, climbing to the summit of the Premier League with a two-point lead over Arsenal.
