Manchester City v Arsenal: match preview

This article is more than 6 years old

How Arsenal would love to follow being the last team to defeat Manchester City (in April’s FA Cup semi-final) by being the first this season. City, though, are flying with the manager particularly content with the goal tally – 49 in all competitions – and the mental strength of his players. Arsenal are nine points behind and if they wish to be in the title race they need to win at the Etihad Stadium. Jamie Jackson
