Arsenal travel to Manchester City in Sunday afternoon’s Premier League heavyweight clash.
Pep Guardiola’s side have been in magnificent form so far this season, and they will be confident going into Sunday’s clash on the back of a 4-2 victory against Napoli in the Champions League.
City’s goalscoring has been quite magnificent this season, with goals coming from all quarters of the team.
To put it into context, they have netted 49 times in 16 games across all competitions, and they have an average goal difference of +2.9 per game.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have had some positive results since their 2-1 defeat to Watford.
The Gunners swept away a struggling Everton side 5-2, before winning against Norwich and Swansea 2-1 on both occasions.
The Gunners have shown some resilience and spirit they were accused of lacking after coming from behind in each of those matches.
Arsene Wenger will approach the game in his own manner and will not abandon Arsenal’s attacking principles.
He said: ‘We will try to play our game – we will not hide, put it that way.
‘You want to defend well but you cannot only be focused on defending. We want to play and have the ball and create dangerous situations. Sometimes the best way to defend is to attack.’
